Fresh coriander is best stored in the refrigerator. Trim the stems and place the bunch in a glass or jar with about an inch of water, similar to how you would store flowers. Cover loosely with a plastic bag. Change the water every 2-3 days. Alternatively, you can wrap dry coriander leaves in a slightly damp paper towel and store them in a sealed plastic bag in the crisper drawer. Dried coriander seeds should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place at room temperature.
