Coriandrum sativum
Cilantro has delicate, lacy green leaves that are often mistaken for parsley. It is a widely used annual herb with flat leaves and white flower heads in summer. The fresh leaves have a pungent flavor. Use in chicken or fish dishes, in rice, salads, or mayonnaise. Remove the tough stems from cilantro before adding it to your cooked dishes or homemade salsa. To achieve the perfect tasting salsa with sweet, salty, sour and spicy flavors, try different combinations of: tomato, onion, pepper, garlic, salt, lime juice or vinegar, pinches of sugar, fresh parsley, mint, basil and oregano.
The seeds and root of this plant are known as coriander. Plant in average, well-drained soil in full sun. For best results plant in full sun and feed with a liquid or slow release fertilizer.
