Coriander/Cilantro is a flavorful and versatile herb highly regarded for its bright, citrusy flavor and aromatic leaves.

This annual herb features delicate, lacy leaves with a vibrant green color and stems that grow in bunches. Cilantro leaves have a distinct, refreshing taste often described as a blend of citrusy notes, slightly peppery undertones, and a hint of sweetness.

The leaves are commonly used fresh as a garnish or chopped and added to dishes just before serving, imparting a fresh, zesty flavor to salsas, guacamole, tacos, curries, soups, salads, and marinades. Additionally, both the leaves and seeds (known as coriander seeds) are used in cooking, each contributing distinct flavors to culinary creations.
