Cilantro

EverydayFresh

Cilantro (also called fresh coriander) is a bright, citrusy herb with delicate lacy leaves and a polarizing flavor profile that some perceive as refreshingly pungent while others detect a soapy taste due to genetic sensitivity. This low-calorie herb is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and is essential in Mexican, Indian, and Southeast Asian cuisines for garnishing dishes or adding raw to salsas and sauces. Unlike dried herbs, fresh cilantro loses its vibrant flavor when cooked, making it ideal for finishing dishes.
