Pro's and expert home cooks,
I have been struggling with keeping herbs (parsley and cilantro) fresh and crisp in the house. I've tried for years to keep them in the fridge to no avail. Parsley lasts a decent amount of time but cilantro goes limp and loses its' aromatic qualities very quickly (couple of days). I recently tried a glass filled with water and placing the cilantro in that on the counter but it quickly wilted again and I was left with water that smelled of ass. I also tried a ziplock bag with a damp paper towel but once again that failed.
What I am getting at is what do you do if anything to keep your herbs fresh so I don't have to go out and buy fresh parsley and cilantro every couple of days?
Regards,
Pete
