Fresh coriander, also known as cilantro, is a popular herb that boasts vibrant green leaves and a distinct citrusy, slightly peppery flavor. Native to the Mediterranean and widely used in Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines, it adds freshness to dishes like curries, salsas, stir-fries, and salads. Nutritionally, coriander is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants that support immune health and combat oxidative stress. It’s also a source of dietary fiber and certain minerals, including potassium and magnesium, which aid heart health and digestion. Some studies suggest coriander may help regulate blood sugar levels and promote detoxification. While the herb itself is very low in calories, people should check accompanying ingredients such as oils and sauces for calorie concerns. Coriander seeds are also notable for their medicinal benefits and are commonly used in traditional remedies.
