Cilantro is an herb with flat,wide lacy green leaves and of course that strong flavor.
The seed of the cilantro plant is known as coriander.
Although cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, their flavors
are very different and shouldn't really be substituted for each other.
Coriander was cultivated by the ancient Egyptians.
The Bible actually mentions coriander in Exodus 16:31
"The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like
coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey."
Coriander, like many spices, contains antioxidants and is
used for herbal medicines along with soup broths, salsas,
wraps, tacos, bread, dips, garnishes & so much more!
