Cilantro or coriander is used in kitchens from Mexico to China, from India to Iran, to Egypt, and beyond. Cilantro is the leaf of the coriander plant. It has a fresh, lemon/lime taste that most people love especially when added to guacamole, soups across Asia, gormeh sabzi, and ful medames. When cooking with fresh cilantro, always make sure to add it at the very end of the cooking process to retain its flavor and color. Although most recipes call for fresh cilantro, it can be difficult to find in cold climates during the winter months. These dried cilantro leaves work nicely as a replacement. The dried cilantro spice is also good for people just acquiring a taste for cilantro, as their flavor is milder than the fresh herb. Ingredients: Cilantro.
