About Cilantro

Cilantro, also known as coriander, is an annual herb widely used in cuisines around the world. Its bright green leaves and distinctive flavor make it a popular addition to salsas, salads, and stir-fries. A mature cilantro plant can reach a height of approximately 30 cm (about 12 inches). The size of cilantro bunches sold commercially varies slightly depending on the vendor and growing conditions, but generally, they are manageable and easy to store. Cilantro is valued not only for its leaves but also for its seeds, which are known as coriander seeds and have a different, warmer flavor.
