fresh CilantroOur Comments: North Americans will typically call this cilantro. Other parts of the world know it as coriander and or chinese parsley.
The leaves have a citrus-like flavor, and are typically used in chutneys, salsas and guacamole.
The dry fruit are called seeds and have a lemony citrus flavor when crushed. They're typically used in curries, and pickling spices.
The roots have a more intense flavor than either of the above. Mostly, the roots are used in Thai cooking.
Because cilantro doesn't quite do anything other than add flavoring to a dish, we wouldn't have a specific category for it. Entered on: 2009-11-01 |
