Coriander is one of the most ancient and important herbs in the heritage of indian curries. The bewildering aroma is also popular in mediterranean basin and arab world. But, the freshness and the fragrance does not last long, particularly if you put the leaves in your fridge for 3 or 4 days.
However, there is a proven way to let your coriander leaves breath in your fridge and still look green even after one week.
The idea is pretty simple. Use a plastic bag. Pour some water into it. Now put the coriander leaves into the bag. Do not fill the bag with water. Atleast keep one third of the bag empty. Do not seal the bag completely. Finally, keep the bag in your fridge in such a position so that the water keeps remain in the bag. You can change the water after 3 or 4 days for maximam freshness. Our favourite coriander will keep breathing in the fridge.
Finally, have you ever tried this- two pieces of toasted bread, sliced tomato, tuna with onion and some coriander leaves- yammmmi yam. How about a glass of home made orange juce to complement the healthy lunch.
