I used to grow coriander in a planter, and once I harvested only what I ate, the rest was wiped out by insects overnight. You will regret until you die why you didn't harvest all at once ...

However, if you put coriander in the refrigerator as it is, it will soon become irrelevant, right? So this time, I will introduce three ways to save even one delicate coriander without wasting it.

Save as is

I want to eat it raw as much as possible! To those who say. This time, I tried to verify it in two ways.

Coriander will rot when the leaves get wet, so after washing with water, first carefully wipe off the water.


Put cilantro in a deep container and add water to a depth where only the roots are immersed. Cover the leaves with a storage bag or a bag containing leafy vegetables and put them in the refrigerator. If possible, change the water every day.


Wrap the other strain in moistened kitchen paper, put it in a zippered storage bag, and put it in the refrigerator. This is easier for small quantities.


Here is the state after 3 days. It's still lively, but it looked a little better when wrapped in kitchen paper.

Freeze

It lasts longer than refrigerated, so it is recommended when you do not plan to use it immediately. If you don't have roots or if you're already sick, this might be better.

After washing the cilantro thoroughly, wipe off the water, chop the leaves and stems roughly, and put them in a freezer bag. If you also want to use the roots, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in a storage bag. Store each in the freezer and put it in the dish as it is when using it. The storage period is about one month.

Pickled in oil

Pickled in oil with the aroma and flavor of coriander is recommended for corianders. Since it does not come into contact with the air, it can be stored for about 3 weeks (avoid using it if discoloration or mold occurs).

Finely chop the dried coriander and put it in a clean jar that has been boiled and disinfected with olive oil (salad oil is OK), chili pepper, and a pinch of salt.





An oil that allows you to enjoy the rich aroma of olives and coriander. If you add a little to various dishes such as chicken, soup, pasta, fried noodles, instant noodles, etc., it will disappear in a blink of an eye.

If you save it well, you are not afraid to buy it in large quantities. It's much easier to get than before, so let's eat coriander this summer!
