Cilantro.jpg (190861 bytes)Cilantro  Coriandrum sativum

Sometimes called "Chinese parsley."  Cilantro is the leaf of the coriander plant. Cilantro is used extensively in Mediterranean, Latin American, and Asian cooking, where its unique flavor seasons salads, tacos, curries, guacamole, soups and stews.  The roots and leaves are a must in Thai green curry. Dried is not quite as nice as the fresh, but easier to keep and has good flavor.
