Coriander (Cilantro)
This herb has gained in popularity because it is an important ingredient in many of the spicy cuisines that are fashionable today, including Indian, Moroccan, and Thai. It is an ancient herb, written about in Egyptian papyruses and in Tales of the Arabian Nights. Besides being an important spice, and one of the bitter herbs eaten at Passover, it is claimed to effect immortality and is touted as an aphrodisiac. Leaves of coriander are similar to anise, and its seeds resemble orange peel.
Culinary uses:
Use the leaves in soups, stews, vegetables, chutneys, salads, and tomato sauces. Seeds enhance meat, poultry, apple pie, and marmalade.
