Notes Cilantro is often sold in bunches bound by a metal twist tie. Remove this before storing it. The metal discolors and spoils it. It's best to place it in a bowl of water to rinse it. Rinsing it under running water can bruise the leaves. It is best to dry the leaves before chopping them. They will be crisper and taste better. |
