- Use Coriander Stems: Don’t throw away the stems—they’re just as flavorful as the leaves! Add them to soups, sauces, or stews for an extra burst of flavor. This way, you’ll make the most of your entire bunch of coriander.
- Check Water Levels Regularly: If you’re storing coriander in a jar with water, be sure to check the water levels every few days and change it when needed. Fresh water keeps the stems hydrated and prevents any bacteria from growing.
- Avoid Storing with Other Herbs: Some herbs, like parsley or basil, might release moisture that could cause coriander to spoil faster. Keep it in its own container to ensure the best possible storage.
