I'm looking for strategies to keep my cilantro from wilting. I cut bunches
and wrap them with a rubber band, and plunge into water in the field--no more
than 30 seconds from first cut to water. I usually cut when it's cool, either
morning or early evening, but no matter what I do, I often get wilting
bunches within a few hours of cutting. Not all the stalks wilt, but
inevitably several will, and get not just soft, but close to dried out before
too long. I have not discovered a pattern to my problem.

Anybody have a good technique for cutting cilantro to reduce wilting?
