Green coriander increases the taste, aroma and color of vegetables manifold. But if not stored properly, coriander starts rotting and spoils quickly. If you want to keep coriander green and fresh for a long time, then do not make the mistake of keeping it in the refrigerator immediately. To make coriander last longer, open the bundle of coriander and remove yellow, rotten and spoiled leaves from it. Now take water in a bowl and wash coriander leaves gently in it. Avoid rubbing the leaves too much but clean the dirt from the roots. Now spread the washed coriander on a plate or newspaper. Let the moisture present in coriander dry thoroughly. This will keep coriander green and fresh for a long time.
Way to keep coriander green for a long time
