Cilantro ( Coriander ) Info

A shiny, smooth green annual, Cilantro has slender, grooved stems with compound pinnate lower leaves and finely segmented upper leaves. Small white to red flowers grow in umbels from spring through late summer. Round, light brown seeds have ridges and are ¼ inch in length. Cut and hang the entire plant to dry as soon as the leaves turn brown, taking care to retain the seeds . The flavor and aroma of the seed improves with age. Harvest the leaves when immature for optimum flavor, as the dried leaves do not store well.
