Coriander, also known as cilantro or Chinese parsley, is a versatile herb commonly used in cooking, particularly in cuisines from around the world. It comes from the Coriandrum sativum plant, which produces both the fresh leaves (cilantro) and the dried seeds (coriander seeds), both of which are used in culinary applications.
Coriander is a versatile herb and spice that can be used in a wide range of dishes. Cilantro leaves are often added to salads, guacamole, salsa, chutneys, and as a garnish for soups and curries. Coriander seeds are used to flavor meats, poultry, fish, rice dishes, pickles, and baked goods. Ground coriander is a common ingredient in curry powders, spice blends, and marinades.
