Cilantro
Coriandrum satirum
Flavor: Cilantro is a pungent herb, which is often either loved or hated. To me, as a fan, I think it is lemony and fresh, but some may find it metallic.
Benefits:Provides a good source of vitamin K and extremely high in dietary fiber. Cilantro has been used as a home remedy for anxiety and insomnia as well as for a digestive aid.
Storage Tips: Do not wash prior to storage. Wrap in a damp paper towel or store in an inch of water.
Cooking and preparation: Toss into green salad or put into pasta and potato salads. Toss fresh leaves into Asian soups and stirfries at the last minute, to retain color and flavor.
