Here it goes for this week.

| Cilantro past its prime. |
I should have known. When I looked up the definition for cilantro, here's what I found:
cilantro (sɪˈlæntrəʊ): an herb, also called coriander, that is sold in big bunches and rots rapidly. :)
No wonder that cilantro is a common occurrence on my Food Waste Friday posts. However, this time, I used more than usual before it started to turn to slime.
Oh! I thought that my picture would be beside that definition C:
ReplyDeleteI never seem to be able to eat all of the cilantro before it goes bad. Maybe, because I'm the only one in the family who eats it...
ReplyDeleteWow if that is all that went to waste, you did good! I use parsley to make tabouleh, but it is similar to cilantro. I also use cilantro for homemade salsa.
ReplyDeleteI have some cilantro tips. It will last longer if you trim the ends then put it in water like you would flowers, then store it in the fridge. I've had it last over a week that way. Also, you can wash it, then trip the leaves and lay it out on waxed paper and freeze. Once it is frozen put it in a freezer bag. It wont taste as good as fresh but it is still pretty good. You'll have a better result using it in cooked dishes, opposed to something like salsa.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. I think I'll put it water next time.
