Cilantro
Cilantro
Cilantro, also known as coriander or Chinese parsley, is an aromatic herb native to regions spanning from southern Europe and northern Africa to southwestern Asia. Its fresh, green leaves are a staple in many global cuisines, including Mexican, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes.
Taste
Cilantro is known for its distinctive, bold flavor, which some describe as a lively mix of citrus and pepper with a slightly soapy undertone—a taste that can be polarizing. This unique flavor profile makes cilantro a popular garnish and ingredient in salsas, curries, and salads, enhancing dishes with its bright, refreshing taste.
Nutritional Content
Cilantro microgreens are packed with essential nutrients, offering a concentrated source of vitamins and minerals compared to mature cilantro. These young shoots are rich in vitamins C, E, and K, supporting immune function, skin health, and blood clotting. They also contain notable amounts of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, promoting good vision and cellular health. Additionally, cilantro microgreens provide minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium, contributing to bone health, oxygen transport, muscle function, and electrolyte balance. Rich in antioxidants, cilantro microgreens help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation.
