Cilantro ORGANIC
Cilantro is also called Chinese parsley. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. This plant was cultivated 3000 years ago by the Greeks and Romans to make vinegar to preserve meat. The Cilantro will bolt (flower) later than regular Cilantro. This packet plants 13 - 10 foot rows. Senna tea is made from crushed Coriander. The foliage of the Cilantro plant has a sage flavor with a strong suggestion of citrus and is used more than the seeds at this time. The crushed seeds season stews, cookies, and beans. The Cilantro/Coriander Organic, 'Coriandrum sativum', is one of the most useful and tasty herbs available. The seed, Coriander, has a strong citrusy, lemon flavor. Both the foliage (cilantro) and seed (coriander), make this herb very versatile. Cilantro has a thousand uses from as simple as a sprig in chicken soup to chopped in Mexican food. ... more
