Hi Lydia,
cilantro -
I can't find the word in my dictionary. Is there another term for it?
We don't have this herb in Germany, at least I have never seen it. Is it Mexican?

Hi Lydia,
just found the word in the Wikipedia online-dictionary.
we call it Coriander here, Latin: Coriandrum sativum.
It is also used in Eastern cuisine, Thai, Vietnamese and Indian dishes.
The leaves are called Chinese parsley or Mexican parsley.
I have powder of ground coriander root, but I seldom use it.
It tastes very exotic.

yes Olivia, Cilantro is used in many maxican dishes, as well as asian dishes. I grow this herb in succession all summer long, so it's always readily available to me.
Hi Lydia,
I am looking forward to getting the package of cilantro/coriander seeds you are sending me.
The picture of cilantro looks interesting. I have always used dried, ground leaves of coriander until now.
