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?
In the end, only kindness matters.

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

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.

Great, thanks much, to the freezer with it.
