Cilantro

The Basics

Fresh cilantro, which we grow during most of the year, is a treat! Its flavorful green leaves have an aromatic citrus taste that is a classic component of many salsas. You’ll also see cilantro in many Asian and Indian dishes.

Cooking Tips

Cilantro is best while very fresh– when buying, be sure that it is very aromatic. Be sure to use the stems, because they hold the most flavor. Cilantro does not keep its flavor when dried, so this is an herb to freeze if you have extra and want to preserve the taste.
