Cilantro

Description

Related to the parsley and carrot families, the coriander-cilantro plant is versatile because it produces both an edible seed (coriander) and an herbal leaf (cilantro). Cilantro is the term used for the slightly citrus and peppery tasting leaves. This herb is used extensively in garnishes, salsas, and salads, and is very common in Asian and Mexican dishes.
