In the video, Vikas Khanna suggested submerging the coriander herb’s stem in a glass of water. The leaves should also be properly wrapped in a plastic bag before being placed in the refrigerator, he added.

Captioning the video, he wrote, “These 27 seconds might save you a lot of flavours, freshness and a little. This is the best trick to keep herbs fresh in the refrigerator for up to 8-10 days." To maintain the herbs’ freshness, “Change the water every 48 hours," he recommended. The chef concluded, “Thank me later." For the hashtag, he wrote, “Culinary trick."
