I got this big ol' baggie of cilantro from some friends and am having a hard time using it up, but hate to waste it. I suspect that drying won't work or I would have seen it in the spice row at the grocery store ... any other suggestions?

I've frozen it. Store in bags in the freezer.
I garden for the pollinators.

Thumbs up

Yes frozen is the best for flavor.
It can be frozen whole then just chop a bit off when you need it or chopped all up and cut off the needed amount.

I have tried drying it with no problem , but it seems to loose most of it's flavor and aroma.

Cinda, I agree it is not the same as fresh or frozen.
