About Cilantro stems

Cilantro stems are the tender, flavorful stalks of the coriander plant, commonly used in cuisines worldwide, especially in Latin American, Southeast Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes. Packed with vitamins A, K, and C along with antioxidants, cilantro stems contribute to immune support, skin health, and bone strength. They also contain small amounts of minerals like potassium and manganese, essential for overall body functions. Unlike the plant's leaves, the stems have a slightly milder flavor but retain the citrusy, herbaceous notes that complement soups, curries, salads, and marinades. Low in calories and free from cholesterol, cilantro stems are considered a heart-healthy ingredient. However, some individuals may be sensitive to the taste or allergic to components in cilantro. With their versatility and nutrient density, cilantro stems are a sustainable, flavorful addition to cooking that ensures the entire plant can be utilized effectively.
