Wash the bunch when you get it from the store. Pat dry with paper towels. Divide into two smaller bunches. Wrap each in a few sheets of paper towels. Place each bundle in its own baggie, but do not seal. Place in your veg/crisper drawer.

Thank you, Erica. I will do that with the cilantro I bought today.

Or put it in a small jar of water (like it's in a vase) with a loose plastic bag over the top and in the fridge. I read this somewhere and do my parsley, cilantro, and green onions this way.

I read about that and wondered how it would work.
Thank you.

Or you could do what I do and store it in one of the ways suggested, push it to the back of the fridge, find a green, slimy, mushy mess in a week or so, wonder what the heck it used to be and throw it out!😜

lol @ denise!
I put mine in a jar of water like a vase in the fridge as Cathy suggested, but both methods work well (not denise's)
The "vase" method works well for asparagus and romaine too.

Thank you, Shelly. I will try that also. Denise, I had to laugh as I read your comment. I don't know how many times I have done that and have been disappointed that it went bad.

Haha, Denise!
I use the vase method as well. We buy ours a lot from a produce stand that stores it the same way.
