Cilantro

Cilantro is a bright, citrusy herb commonly used in Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Known for its bold, fresh flavor, cilantro adds a zesty lift to everything from salsas and curries to salads and marinades.

Although always a topic for conversation of tastes, both the leaves and stems are edible, making it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. Best used raw or added at the very end of cooking, cilantro brings a burst of freshness that can liven up any dish.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Store your North Shore Living® Cilantro in the refrigerator and trim only what you need just before use. This herb is grown for eating, not for replanting.

Cilantro prefers light, consistent moisture. Check the root zone often and add water as needed to keep the roots slightly damp without overwatering.

Both the leaves and tender stems are edible. Rinse and chop as needed to add a fresh, citrusy flavor to your meals.

FLAVOR, BENEFITS & KITCHEN TIPS:

Cilantro is best enjoyed fresh to capture its bright, citrusy flavor and natural health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and K, and known for its digestive and detoxifying properties, cilantro adds more than just taste to your meals.

If you choose to cook with cilantro, add it at the end of the cooking process. Prolonged heat can diminish its delicate flavor.

To use North Shore Living® Cilantro, snip only the amount you need from the root ball, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Use whole or mince the leaves and tender stems finely with a sharp kitchen knife, depending on your recipe.

When replacing dried herbs with fresh cilantro, use three parts fresh for every one part dry.
