5 days old and still looks like it was just harvested — unbelievably fresh! I have ordered cilantro from many places but the quality I received from Weee! completely shocked me in the best way possible. This bunch arrived so fresh, so green, and so fragrant that I could not believe it! What really impressed me is that these photos were taken FIVE DAYS after delivery — and look how vibrant and green it still is! Not a single yellow leaf, no wilting, no sliminess. Just pure fresh cilantro like it was picked this morning. One thing I really want to highlight is how thoughtfully Weee! packages their fresh vegetables. The cilantro came in a separate bag with ice packets, which kept everything perfectly cold and fresh during delivery. You can tell they really care about the quality of their produce reaching you in the best condition possible. That kind of packaging makes such a huge difference! My secret to keeping it this fresh even longer? Wrap it loosely in a paper towel, put it in a ziplock bag, and store it in the fridge. With this method, good quality cilantro like this can stay fresh for up to a month! The paper towel absorbs excess moisture while the ziplock keeps it from drying out. Try this hack and you will never waste cilantro again! The bunch is very generous in size — full, thick stems with beautiful leafy tops. The aroma is incredibly strong and fresh, exactly what you want when garnishing curries, chutneys, biryanis, or making fresh coriander chutney. If you cook Indian food regularly, fresh cilantro is non-negotiable — and getting this quality delivered straight to your door through Weee! is an absolute game changer. Will keep ordering this every single time!
