Dried Cilantro

Description

Cilantro is a versatile herb that is essential in many Mexican, Middle Eastern, Indian, and Asian recipes. It is almost always used fresh because it doesn’t dry well. The herb has a unique flavor that some love, but others wish to avoid. You will often find cilantro scattered on top of Indian dishes. It’s frequently used in salsa in Mexican cuisine and in Moroccan chermoula and Yemeni zhug. Cilantro is an herb from the fresh leaves of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum). This plant is a member of the parsley family, and the herb is also known as Chinese parsley and Mexican parsley. In the U.K. and some other places, you will see cilantro called fresh coriander leaves. The leaves look much like flat-leaf parsley, growing on long, tender stems. The seeds of the plant are used to make coriander spice, which has a completely different flavor from cilantro. The roots of the plant are also edible and used in some dishes
