Cilantro
Cilantro, also known as coriander leaf, is a cool season herb available from the Capay Valley in the spring. Native to Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia, cilantro is widely used in Chinese, Thai & Mediterranean cuisine. We harvest & deliver the stems and leaves which are often used in soups, salsas, sauces and as garnish or topping to many dishes. The roots are a common ingredient in Asian cooking and the seeds are the spice Coriander.
Caring for Cilantro: Store in a moist towel/cloth bag or a plastic bag in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. Enjoy within 2-4 days.
To prepare: Use the leaves of the cilantro and stems only if they are finely chopped. Incorporate cilantro into guacamole, salsa, as a topping for soups, chillies, or beans, or in tomato or pesto suaces. See recipes below for other ideas about how to prepare cilantro.
