Coriandrum sativum L.
Familia
APIACEAE
Cilantro
Coriandrum sativum, commonly known as coriander, is an annual herbaceous plant of the Apiaceae family. It is one of the most widely used aromatic herbs in global cuisine, particularly in the cuisines of Latin America, Asia and the Mediterranean.
It grows to a height of between 40 and 60 cm. It develops lobed lower leaves and very fine upper leaves, topped with umbel-shaped inflorescences bearing small white or pink flowers.
Both its fresh leaves (as a culinary herb) and its dried seeds (as a spice, known as coriander) are used. The roots are also used in Asian cuisine.
Grow in full sun or partial shade. It requires light, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It prefers temperate or cool climates; extreme heat accelerates flowering and causes the leaves to lose their quality.
