storing your store-bought herb bunches in water (especially cilantro!)

This is not about being cutesy. STG this extends the shelf life of parsley, cilantro, dill etc by +1 week (sometimes longer). Spare yourself the shame of having to toss another produce bag of slimy green mush and accept that you are never going to "freeze your leftover herbs in an ice cube tray of olive oil" — like let's bffr!

NOTE: this is not the protocol for more woody-stemmed herbs like rosemary or thyme. That would be a damp paper towel + baggie situation.
