Description

Often you will see cilantro referred to as coriander. Cilantro looks somewhat like Italian or flat leafed parsley except cilantro leaves are more rounded. Cilantro has a pungent, almost soapy aroma that clings to ones hand even after many washes.

Serving Ideas

Cilantro can be eaten raw or cooked, but it should be used with discretion, as it has quite a sharp flavor. It makes an attractive and flavorful seasoning in broth, salads, mayonnaise, sandwiches, potato salads and pasta. It is also delicious pureed and incorporated into soups and sauces.
