STORING FRESH CORIANDER LEAVES

Things Required:

• A bunch of coriander leaves
• a rectangular storage box
• kitchen towels

Method:

• Line the bottom of the rectangular box with 2 kitchen towels.
  
• Untie the bunch of coriander leaves. Place the bunch , loosely in the box.
  

• Cover the leaves with another folded 2 set of kitchen towels.
  

• Close the box with the lid. Keep in the refrigerator.
  

NOTES

• I wash the leaves just before using them . In that way the leaves store well in the box without too much moisture.
• Initially I used to just keep it wrapped in a paper towel , but it used to dry out because it was not tightly packed. Keeping it in the box keeps it fresh.
• Tried the same with mint leaves but didn't work out. The leaves started turning black after 4 days.

FREEZING MINT LEAVES

• Freezing washed and chopped mint leaves has worked well for me. The same can be done for coriander leaves.
• Separate the mint leaves. Wash it under running water and drain it for 5 minutes.

• Chop the leaves and put in a a storage box and freeze it.
  
  
  
  

• Scoop out the frozen leaves with a spoon and use it as required.

FREEZING CORIANDER LEAVES

• In a big bowl of water , dip the whole bunch of coriander leaves 4 to 5 times.
  
  
  
  

• Take a few stems at a time ,wash it under running water and chop it. Do it for the whole bunch.
  
  
  
  

• Store the chopped coriander in a storage box in the freezer.
