We usually eat what we can and give a lot away. This year I'd like to save as much as I can. I went to get some fresh cilantro from my garden for my black bean with cilantro and jalapeno recipe and ended up picking a bunch! If I rinse and place in a freezer bag, will it ruin the cilantro??? I have not read much on freezing cilantro. Thanks for any advice you can pass my way! Quote \| Reply \| Report
