This kitchen hack isn’t limited to one type of herb. It works wonders for parsley, cilantro, basil, oregano, mint, and even herbs with smaller leaves like thyme or rosemary—just use the appropriate hole size on the grater.
The video quickly went viral and sparked debate on social media.
In the comments section, many expressed their shock about this hack. While others admitted they were unaware of this trick, some expressed admiration for this incredible hack.
One person said: I hope they are not throwing away the stems… As all the flavour of the coriander is in the stems.
A second wrote: and it only takes 45 minutes to thread each stem through the individual holes! amazing!
While a third commented: no one wondering how they got the coriander in the grater in the first place??
Someone else said; I would be so much easier to chop it up! And who what's to exclude the stems. Boo hiss!
Another added: We remove the leaves of the parsley we grow so that we can dry them from for future use. But instead of pulling the leaves off that way, flip the grater and brush them off.
This is not the first time a homemaker has gained attention on social media with kitchen tools.
This cheese grater herb hack isn’t the first to go viral. Previously, a TikTok video featuring @foodies showcased a surprising use for the plastic pull tab on oil bottle lids.

In the footage, Tiktoker was seen reinserting the plastic pull tab into an oil bottle lid, which helps control the flow of oil, making it easier to measure and preventing accidental spills in the kitchen.
