About Cilantro

Cilantro, also known as coriander leaves, is a leafy green herb widely used in cuisines around the world, including Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian dishes. Renowned for its bright, citrusy flavor, cilantro is packed with nutrients. It’s an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as small amounts of calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Rich in antioxidants, cilantro may support immune health and reduce inflammation. Its naturally low calorie and fat content makes it a healthy option for adding flavor without added calories or sodium. Some studies suggest cilantro may aid digestion and promote detoxification due to its potential to bind heavy metals. However, a small percentage of people may find its taste soapy due to genetic factors. Whether added to salsa, curries, or salads, cilantro is a versatile herb with both culinary and nutritional benefits.
