Can anyone share tips for storing corriander and curry leaves for longer time?

even me also waiting for the replies.............

 

wrap corriander leaves in Newspaper .. as it absorb its mositure.. It will go upto 5 -6 days

 

exactly!! i wrap coriander leaves in two three tissue papers and put them in a box it stays fresh for 7-8 days... for curry leaves I I some times wrap in a plastic bag

 

I too keep it wrapped in a paper inside airtight box.. It helps me keep the leaves for 1 week.. or even sometimes 10 days..

 

i will remove the curry leaves and put in an air tight glass bottle and keep in fridge for days,corriander no idea........

 

I also wrap in newspaper and put it in a box. I also remove dirty leaves and wash it before storing. After washing I let the water drip out from the leaves for 2-3 hours.
Same can be done for green chillies.

 

thanks for your tips........

I tested ways on how to keep coriander fresh for a long time and find out what's the best way to store (coriander)cilantro. Here is the experiments and results.


Washed, wrapped in newspaper and put inside ziploc bag, stored in refrigerator after 16 days ... pale, stale, and stinky. washing and wrapping is not a good idea.


Unwashed, wrapped in newspaper and put inside ziploc bag, stored in refrigerator after 16 days ...not bad, but beginning to dry up and lose moisture. not as fresh.


Washed, wrapped in paper towel and put inside ziploc bag, stored in refrigerator. after 16 days ...uh-oh. to be trashed. washing beforehand is not a good idea.


Unwashed, wrapped in paper towel and put inside ziploc bag, stored in refrigerator. after 16 days ...not bad. looks fresh too. this is a good way to store cilantro.


In water, in refrigerator placed on top shelf, light from within the refrigerator, in cool temperature, trimmed stems & changed waterevery 5 days.


after 43 days couldn't believe they lasted this long. this is a great way to store cilantro leaves fresh for a long time.

after 16 days not a bad idea, but leaves beginning to fade and turn yellow faster than when stored inside refrigerator.
