Cilantro

Also known as Coriander or Chinese Parsley, cilantro is popular in Mexican, Thai and Vietnamese cooking. Those who enjoy it say it has a refreshing, lemony or lime-like flavour, while those who dislike it have a strong aversion to its taste and smell, characterizing it as soapy or rotten.

Suggested Use: Try its distinct, parsley-sage flavour in salsas, sauces and soups, especially in tandem with chilies.

Safety Info: People who are allergic to mugwort, aniseed, caraway, fennel, dill, or similar plants might have allergic reactions to coriander.
