Cilantro ORGANIC
This plant was cultivated 3000 years ago by the Greeks and Romans to make vinegar to preserve meat. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date. Senna tea is made from crushed Coriander. Cilantro has a thousand uses from as simple as a sprig in chicken soup to chopped in Mexican food. 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. This packet plants 13 - 10 foot rows. The Cilantro will bolt (flower) later than regular Cilantro. 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. The crushed seeds season stews, cookies, and beans. Both the foliage (cilantro) and seed (coriander), make this herb very versatile. Cilantro is also called Chinese parsley. ... more info
