Sort the coriander leaves and remove any yellow, wilted, or damaged stems
Do not wash them until you are ready to store, if possible
If washed, dry them completely with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel
Trim the stem ends slightly
Wrap the leaves loosely in a dry paper towel
Place the wrapped coriander in a zip-lock bag or airtight container
Leave a little air space in the bag or container
Store it in the vegetable crisper drawer of the fridge
Replace the paper towel if it becomes damp
Use within 5 to 7 days for best freshness
For longer storage, chop and freeze the leaves in an ice cube tray with a little water or oil
