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.

Harvest the leaves when immature for optimum flavor, as the dried leaves do not store well.
