How to choose the best:
Cilantro

AKA: CORRIANDER, CHINESE PARSLEY

Touch

Look for robust leaves and stalks that feel nice and strong — not at all as if they’re soft, wilting, or slimy at all.

See

Look for a vibrant emerald green color across the leaves, and avoid any leaves that seem pale, yellow or brown at all.

Smell

Give a good sniff — you’re looking for nice fragrant aroma here. Remember: the main reason you’re using cilantro is for just that flavor!

How to store

Once cut from the ground, cilantro does best in a humid environment, so try wrapping in a moist cloth or paper towel before storing in a plastic bag, and just swap out the cloth at least once per week.
