When buying cilantro, look for bunches that have bright, evenly-colored green leaves, showing no sign of yellowing or wilting. Keep it fresh by placing the stems in a glass of fresh water, covering loosely with a plastic bag and placing in the fridge until you need it. Generally only the leaves of cilantro are used, but picking each leaf of one-by-one can be very time consuming. Speed up the process by holding the bunch by the stems, then lightly running a sharp knife in down the stems, away from you. This will remove the bulk of the leaves quickly and effectively.
