Description
Cilantro is a member of the parsley family that is native to Asia and Africa. Its compound leaves are harvested fresh for use in Mexican and Indian cuisines. The dried herb exhibits a much milder flavor that some people find borders on bland. However, dried cilantro used in tea blends or encapsulated as a supplement delivers calcium, potassium and other minerals, as well as several antioxidant compounds, such as limonene and alpha-pinene. Use in soups, stews, sauces, curries, stir-fries, bean dishes and vegetable casseroles. The herb may also be prepared as tea, alone or in combination with other herbs and spices.
