Coriander is a plant whose parts are used mainly in exotic cooking recipes, such as Indian, Thai, and Mexican cuisine. It is known as coriander, cilantro, and Chinese parsley and produces round, light, fragile seeds with a hollow interior. Coriander has an earthy color and its taste resembles parsley and lime, while its aroma is sweet, reminiscent of anise, and provides a refreshing sensation to the dishes to which it is added.

• It pairs well with lemon recipes.
• It can replace parsley.
• It is the main herb in falafel and guacamole.

Use coriander in soups, poultry dishes, rice, couscous, fish, legumes, sour cabbage pickles, sauces, yogurt dips, omelets, and pesto.
