First time a get one of your videos recommended … I love it 😍 I did subscribe
@@carolinaumana10 I love it too, thanks for letting me know.
I don't see the bell for notification? Just found you.
@@maryconner9577 Is the bell not there? Oh no... I hope it's there on my other vids. I am uploading a new shrimp recipe right now, should be posted in about 15 more minutes. hopefully the bell will be on that one.
I have been following the method in this video for almost 9 months now, and let me tell you, it is SHOCKING how well it works! I will pull out some cilantro weeks later stored with this method and it tastes and looks amazing! Thank you so much for this video, I had almost given up buying cilantro due to frustration with storage, I didn't think it was possible. It is so nice to have it available anytime I need it. I started using micro-fiber clothes instead of paper towels and it works great too
Fantastic! I am so happy to see this message ♥
I'll try the microfibre. Thanks.!!
Try using “flour sack” tea towels. It really saves on paper towels.
@@judyl3490 thank you!
What are those, never heard of them before, yes was thinking paper towels are very expensive atm, I use them only for essentials, I normally buy the triple reusable variety.
This is a good tip, just so happen I’ve bought some fresh spring onions yesterday.@@judyl3490
Been doing this for years...I tend to wash first, then let air dry for a few hours on a cloth towel and then do exactly as you do. For cilantro, you can also cut and freeze the stems which are great for cooking. Regular parsley can also be cut fine and frozen in a jar and used for cooking. Anyhow, nice video and I am subscribing...hope the baby is now enjoying your food!
Thanks for sharing and subscribing!!!
I hate to waste paper towels, and I was thinking the same thing. Can I lay out my greens, maybe near a fan, and let them dry naturally instead of using paper? Thanks for showing me it does work!
I wash my cilantro when I bring it home from the store. I spin it dry in a salad spinner, towel dry, then put in a jar of water with a paper towel covering it. I place a plastic bag over it and place into the refrigerator. It lasts a long time.
@@gloriaf6971Yes, I wash and spin dry all of my herbs. There's a lot of grit in that herbs. Once I spin them dry I lay them on paper towels loosely and put them in a zip-lock bag and off into the veggie crisper for 2-3 weeks.
I have been doing this for years. Also, I put a sheet of paper towel inside the salad tub to keep the salad last longer.
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Excellent tip. I hate digging out dead cilantro out of my fridge.
Thank you so much for this video. I gave a definite thumbs up! One thing I would like to point out is that you don't have to dry the cilantro/green onion or whatever with disposable paper towels!! My parents always did this with tea towels or hand towels that you just throw in the laundry when you're done. It works wonderfully, just like you show and costs less in the long run. We don't need to be sending so much stuff to the garbage. Thanks again for all the effort you do to show this technique so we aren't sending all this produce to the garbage as well!!! Excellent 👏.
thanks for adding :-)
Very important point
I love hearing the BABY🤣👼SHE IS SUCH A CUTIE!!!BLESS her wants fresh veggies too🤣🤣
Tried this for some fresh curly parsley and some cilantro (coriander leaf) This method works like a charm and now 2 weeks on the fresh herbs are in the fridge in a sealed polythene box and as fresh as the day they went in. I've dipped into them for cooking and it's proving a perfect way to store it and not have to throw any away. Only one parsley leaf turned half yellow in 2 weeks. I call that a great method and thanks for the tip.
Thanks for sharing. I am so happy that you found this video helpful.
Wow, I literally just went and got my cilantro out of the fridge and did this. Thank you😊
You are so welcome!
Me too😊
Me too!
One other tip to go with this great video. Save the cut root ends from the green onions and poke them in your garden. They grow new green onions.
Thanks for the info!
I cut the green part of green onions and put the white one in the jar with 2 inch of water , it grows and I use the green part at list 4 -5 times ! I have 4 bunch of green onion all winter in jar ready to use 😊
Great tip! I do the same thing, and also do it with celery and lemongrass.
Hi, l'm Algerian, l discovered you channel since a fews days, l have sew a lot of your videos and l have loved them. You have shown a lot of things that l ignored. I'ts a pleasure to be among you. A big like for you.
Thanks and welcome
Thank you. I love cilantro so much, it makes me cry when it goes bad. I tried to grow it and can't.
I love it too. Put it in so many things.
I've started doing that a couple years ago. I was tired of throwing out green onion, cilantro, parsley after a week. I also go through the cilantro, green onion etc every week to remove the bad parts and sometimes after a couple of weeks I change the paper towels if they get soiled.
Great minds think alike.
Thank you so much! This is super helpful. My cilantro keeps getting bad too early, the step about cutting the bad cilantro is very important.
I bought some spring onions and put them in a vase, they've been healthy and fresh for three weeks now.
I also do the cilantro that way, but additionaly trim off about a 1/2 inch fresh cut from the dark stem endings.
Great additional tip my friend. thank you,
I have been doing this wrong! I put it in airtight containers but i often leave a wet tissue in there to keep it moist. Seems like keeping it dry is the way to go! Thank you :)
You're welcome. Dry is better... also, dont seal the bag, just fold it over. This will allow any left over moister to evaporate.
Thanks from Germany for showing this.I will do it from now with my cilantro and spring onion. I can use it for longer time. 🤗
You are welcome 😊
The paper towels won't be "dirty" after use unless the cilantro rots. Barely damp, easy to let dry and use for cleaning. Any kitchen paper towel that I use to dry anything already cleaned gets laid out to dry, only thrown away when it gets soiled.
Thanks for the tips!
I save my dry used paper towels in a bag kept under the kitchen sink. Useful to soak up oil /grease /tomatoey stains from pans/pots/dishes or soak up spillage on floors.
@@tolletstalesandtrails6051 I try hard to make mine last longer too. Great tips ♥
I love this. I am going to try wrapping in old flannel sheets that I have cut up. I have tried that with home made bread or rolls and it works well (they don't last for weeks but definitely keep fresh longer)
That's a great idea. I will try that as well.
Been doing this for year try it mushrooms wrap in paper to absorb moisture it will keep it fresher for longer…
Also cheese…. And many other items…
Thanks for the additional tips.
After having just thrown out my Nth bunch of left over cilantro that went bad, im do glad to have found this video and i can't wait to try it!
Thank you, God bless you 💝
So happy that you won't be tossing cilantro any longer ♥
Thank you for your tip! I've been wondering what I can do to keep my cilantro and green onions from going bad so quickly. Now I know. I'm so happy that I came across your video 😊! Many thanks! 💕
Glad it was helpful!
I'm going to do exactly what you did we use cilantro on a daily basis thank you so much
This tip is so simple but it WORKS! Thanks for sharing!
You're very welcome.
We recently had a cilantro shortage in Kansas. We always use cilantro and hate wasting it everytime! This technique worked great!! Thank you!!!
You're welcome.
I still have the same cilantro from when I posted the original comment!! Your technique really works well!! It's been a week! It's still fresh and crisp!
I tried cleaning, picking out the bad, then cutting the ends then putting them in ajar of water like fresh cut flowers. This does work and looks pretty, but you need to trim the ends and change the water every few days. My onions, when left long enough would actually grow new sprouts! I’m going to try this method too. I have an apartment sized fridge, so space is limited, but I’ll try it anyway. Thank you for sharing! 😊
I always do that with my celery, and grow new celery.
I am also Thais I have been doing this for yrs, and thank you.
Very good ka!
I really love this advice. Also, it was my pleasure to hear your baby in the background. Thank you
Thank you so much.
Thank you for sharing this video. I had stopped buying cilantro because it spoils quickly. I am going to try this method. Thanks again.
Great tip, because I discovered that the aromatic herbs lose their aroma when you freeze them. Thank you very much and congratulations for that lovely baby!
You are so welcome!
Wonderful tips for helping keep vegetables fresh longer. Always frustrating when you buy these and they only last a couple days. Thanks so much for sharing this technique
Blessings to you and your family
Glad it was helpful!
God bless you to know Him.
You got such a great heart ♥.
Thanks!
Lifesaver
Yes!!!
I love this video and appreciate you taking the time to share such a great tip fpr storing and keeping fresh 🙏🙏💕💕
Wow! I love you ❤❤❤😄😄😄
I can’t keep cilantro fresh for a day let alone a month. It’s so frustrating. And the spring onions as well.
This is gold! Thank you 🙏
Oh wow! I am so happy that you found this then and so very happy that you commented and let me know.
Thank you. This is truly helpful. I read somewhere that cilantro could be frozen, then used. I tried it. The cilantro was so soggy, I was very disappointed. Now I have a method for keeping it fresh.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow~ Thank you for the tips! I will try it today since I have quite a lot of green onion Kob Koon Ka~ 🙏😊
You're welcome ka.
I use a salad dinner to remove all the water from my Cilantro.
Great! Thank You!! & Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Thank you! Excellent tutorial! I'm inspired and excited to buy both cilantro and green onion next time I shop. I will be using this method. Very happy to learn this
Wonderful! Thanks for checking it out.
I've started cooking a lot more since I had my little one, but I never use all my green ingredients before they go bad. I'm SO excited to try this out! Thank you for the tips!
You're welcome. I am so happy that you found it useful.
Excellent, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips. Thank you. I feel like I need to wash them first though. I tried using the salad spinner to dry them, but now I know from you that it would cause bruising. I’ll be very gentle and lay them out on a towel first before using your method.
I do wash them prior to actually using them in my cooking. But to aviod bruising, I don't wash prior to preserving.
@@SpoonForkHeart Thank you. I’ll try that.
Thanks, you just saved me a lot of $$$. Typically I have to buy new cilantro and green onion every week.
Glad I could help
This really works. I do slightly different. Like this video, I spread out the cilantro on a wood cutting board (dries better) leave it out for an hour or two turning it over a few times. My kitchen is cool and humid BTW, if ti s warmer times would be less. Once it is 90% dry it goes into zip lock bags in the frig veggie drawer. I only use paper towels if it is super wet and a cold day. A big bunch lasts me two weeks and is perfect until the end. I only remove black stuff. Thanks for sharing this!
Great tips, thanks.
Wow, good Chinese trick, thank you!
You're welcome.
Best Cilantro advice ever, thx a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips! My herbs and veggies go bad so quickly!
Thank you so much. Cilantro is the one herb that disintegrates very quickly. Have a wonderful holiday & New Year.
Yes it is. I used to waste so much of it before.
Thank you for teaching me this method. It works wonders for I do not have to go to the store as much now.
Glad to help
I really like your tips on storage.thank you

I want to start buying a lot of cilantro, this is the video I was looking for
Putting in lettuce spinner after rinsing , then in paper towel works. Onions and celery keep in aluminum foil foe a month.

I had to return to say thankyou... my cilantro is still good! Do you have a tip for keeping avocado perfect a little longer? thanks for sharing, enjoy
Yes I do... don't remove the seed (just cut around it) and your avocado will last "a little" longer :-)
Thank you Great Video
You are welcome!
Great tip !!
Glad you think so!
Thank you these tips are things we were not taught in school cooking
My pleasure 😊
Awesome tip!! Keep up the great work 🙏👍
Thank you for the helpful tips. Giggled out loud when you heard the baby and said "Of course."
Bless you and your family. Be well...💜
Same to you!
Good stuff, thanks.
No problem!
Love your cilantro tip, I always lose some….and expensive.
Yes, I wasted so much before I started doing this.
I’ve been doing the same but put it in a reusable glass container. Works great.
Perfect :-)
Very useful video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
I will try this with Thai Basil also. Thanks for the tips!
Please do!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Today I bought 2 bunches because the previous 2 rotted within a few days and which is how I found your video. I cannot wait to see how this turns out. I will definitely let you know in 3 weeks, if they last that long because I pile it high when I have Pozole.
Glad I could help!
I couldn't wait any longer to let you know that this cilantro continues to be fresh and vibrant. I will most likely use it all up by Sunday when I will make a new batch of Pozole and buy more cilantro etc. This is a real game changer for this herb, as it used to rot by the 3rd day. It's sweet because I think of you each time I unravel the paper toweling and harvest what I need for dinner. 🙂
@@galleta_2024 That's awesome!

You're welcome, happy to help.
