Also known as Cilantro, Coriander is a fragrant, fast growing culinary herb and an essential ingredient in many national cuisines. Fresh leaves add a distinctive ‘citrus peel’ flavour to Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Chinese, North African and Mexican dishes. All parts of the plant are edible; the fresh leaves, seeds, stems and chopped roots are all used in cooking.
