Coriander

Coriander, (Coriandrum sativum), also called Cilantro or Chinese Parsley, is a feathery annual plant of the Parsley family (Apiaceae).

All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and stem, as well as the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking as both an herb and a spice. The fresh leaves and stems of the herb have a distinctive, slightly sweet aroma and a fresh, fragrant sage-citrus flavour.
