Hi, Monique. There are two common methods for keeping cilantro fresh. The first requires a jar (a mason jar works well) filled with about an inch of water. Place the stems in the water and then tent a zip-close plastic bag over the entire thing. It is a good idea to put an elastic band around the base of the jar to keep the bag in place. Store in the refrigerator. The second method has you lay the cilantro on paper towels in a single layer. Then you roll up the paper towels and place in a zip-close plastic bag. You can also place it in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator. If you notice the paper towels becoming wet, change them.
