Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) | Herbelpedia

Coriander, also known as cilantro or Chinese parsley, is a bright green annual that grows to about 3 feet in height. It has dark green leaves that resemble Italian flat leaf parsley.

Native to the eastern Mediterranean region and southern Europe, coriander has been cultivated for more than 3000 years. It was once believed that coriander aroused passion and was also believed to make a person immortal.

Coriander is a very versatile culinary plant. Its leaves, which have a bold sage flavour and sharp citrus notes, are mostly used in Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Peruvian and Mexican cuisines while the coriander seed, which has a different profile, is one of the most useful spices in the kitchen for both sweet and savory dishes.
