Keep fresh herbs longer with water and a bag
Not sure if this has been shared previously but I never finish an entire bunch of cilantro or any fresh herbs from the grocery store. I'd put the bag in the fridge or in a glass with water but they still went bad before i has a chance to use it up.
Now I still place the herbs in a glass of water with a little water but with a bag over the whole thing. Adding a bag makes a huge difference. I reuse bags from produce that have holes for aeration to cover the herbs. I've used bags without the holes and it still works but the whole thing gets soggy a bit quicker. This one has been in my fridge for about a week.
I'll typically store the glass in the fridge door but I think any location in the fridge should work fine too.
Hope this helps!
