Always Get Fresh Cilantro

When buying cilantro, look for bunches that have bright, evenly-colored green leaves, showing no signs of yellowing or wilting. Keep it fresh by placing the stems in a glass of fresh water, covering loosely with a plastic bag and placing in the fridge until you need it. Generally only the leaves of cilantro are used, so make sure you cut off the stems before chopping. Also, don't forget to rinse the bunch well, so you don't have any grittiness in the finished guac.
