Dorot Chopped Cilantro: Your Go-To for Convenience & Flavor

Fresh herbs can brighten everything from salsas to soups, but they aren’t always as easy to use as they are to love. Cilantro, in particular, brings a vibrant, citrusy lift to Mexican, Indian and Middle Eastern dishes. But preparing and keeping it fresh can be a hassle. That’s where Dorot Chopped Cilantro comes in. 

These frozen cubes of pre-chopped cilantro take the prep work out of cooking, giving you garden-fresh flavor and freeing up your time.

What Makes Dorot Chopped Cilantro Special?

At the heart of Dorot’s herb range is a simple idea: make fresh flavor as easy to use as salt or pepper. Dorot’s Chopped Cilantro cubes are pre-portioned, so each cube holds a teaspoon of cilantro. 

Instead of washing, destemming and finely chopping a bunch of herbs, you simply pop a cube from the tray and add it directly to your pan, dressing or blender – taking the guesswork out of seasoning and ensuring consistent results every time.

This convenience goes beyond just saving time. Dorot Gardens herbs are freshly picked, flash frozen, and pre-portioned to eliminate chopping and measuring, making it effortless to season your cooking.

Each cube is created to deliver real cilantro flavor without the mess – perfect for busy home cooks who value both authenticity and efficiency.

Freshness and Quality You Can Taste

One of the biggest worries for busy cooks is whether pre-chopped herbs will still taste fresh. Dorot Gardens addresses this by processing cilantro shortly after harvest and flash freezing it to lock in its bright color and fresh flavor. This makes each cube taste like freshly chopped cilantro, not something that sat on a shelf for weeks.

Dorot Gardens’ process also meets a variety of dietary needs. Our chopped cilantro cubes are all natural, gluten-free, non-GMO, dairy-free, kosher, and halal, making them a safe and convenient addition to nearly any kitchen. And since you only use what you need, there’s no worry about wilted herbs lingering in the crisper drawer.

Why Pre-Chopped Cilantro Belongs in Your Kitchen

Cilantro’s delicate leaves make it easily perishable. Even when stored properly, a fresh bunch can turn limp or lose freshness within a few days. With pre-chopped cilantro cubes, you always have a fresh supply on hand. Keep the tray in your freezer and take out as much or as little as you need – it’s that simple.

These cubes also eliminate one of the messiest kitchen tasks: chopping herbs. Each cube melts quickly into hot dishes, dispersing flavor evenly. Add a cube to sizzling oil with garlic to build a flavorful base for rice or curry, stir a cube into salsa or guacamole, or melt one into a creamy dressing for a bright burst of fresh flavor. For raw or cold dishes like pesto or sauces, let a cube thaw for a few minutes before adding it in.

Everyday Uses

• Salsas and guacamole: Drop a cube or two into diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños and lime juice for a quick salsa, or blend into mashed avocados for instant guacamole.
  
• Curries and stews: Toss a cube toward the end of cooking to infuse soups, stews and curries with fresh cilantro aroma without bitter stems.
  
• Salads and grain bowls: Thaw a cube and whisk it into vinaigrette or stir it into cooked grains for a burst of color and flavor.
  
• Marinades and sauces: Blend cilantro cubes with garlic, citrus and olive oil for a zesty dressing for grilled meats, seafood or roasted vegetables.

Sustainable and Reduces Waste

Using Dorot Chopped Cilantro isn’t just convenient; it’s also more sustainable. Because the cubes are pre-measured, you only use what you need. You’re not throwing away wilted leaves or forgotten stems at the bottom of the refrigerator. 

How to Use Dorot Chopped Cilantro

If you’re new to using frozen herb cubes, here are a few tips:

1. Pop the cube out of the tray: Use a knife tip or press from the bottom to release a cube directly into your dish.
   
2. Add at the right time: For sauces, soups and stews, add cilantro toward the end of cooking so the flavor stays bright. For cold dishes, thaw briefly before mixing.
   
3. Balance with other flavors: Cilantro pairs well with citrus, chilies, garlic and cumin. Try adding different Dorot cubes, like garlic or chopped onions, for complete flavor combinations.
