Cilantro is an herb commonly used in many cuisines around the world, particularly in Latin American and Asian dishes. It has a bright, citrusy flavor that can add a refreshing twist to any recipe. However, storing cilantro properly can be a bit tricky, as it's prone to wilting and spoiling quickly. By following these simple steps and storing it in a glass jar with a lid, you can help extend its freshness and enjoy it for up to two weeks. Whether you're making salsa, guacamole, or a fragrant curry, having fresh cilantro on hand can take your dish to the next level.

Instructions

1.	Take the bunch of cilantro and remove any wilted or yellow leaves.
2.	Rinse the cilantro thoroughly with cold water and give it a good shake to get rid of any excess water.
3.	Line the jar with a paper towel or a clean dish towel.
4.	Stuff the cilantro into the jar, making sure that there is no air trapped in the jar.
5.	Seal the jar tightly with a lid and store it in the refrigerator.
