Cilantro/Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is a fast-growing annual herb where every part is edible, but the fresh leaves and stems (known as cilantro in North America) and the dried seeds (coriander) are the parts most used in cooking.
 
The plant bolts quickly in warm weather, producing delicate white-pink flowers followed by round, aromatic seeds. Leaves offer a bright, citrusy-parsley flavor essential in Mexican, Indian, and Southeast Asian dishes, while the seeds bring a warm, spicy-orange note.
 
Fun fact: Some people experience cilantro as tasting “soapy” or unpleasant due to a genetic variation that heightens sensitivity to natural aldehydes in the leaves—the same compounds found in soap. For them, it’s not an acquired taste; it’s biology.
