Cilantro is an herb from the fresh leaves of the coriander plant. Some people are genetically predisposed to experience the taste of cilantro as soapy, but for most of us it tastes bright, lemony and a little peppery. 
​
Storage:

• Store with the stems in a glass of water or in fridge in a bag, ideally in the crisper.​
• Washing herbs a while before they are used diminishes their flavor, so we always give them to you as is straight from the field​. Wash right before use.
• Hang in a well ventilated place to dry for preservation.

​
Cooking tips:

• Try a simple fresh salsa with chopped cilantro, onion, a mix of peppers, and tomatoes.
• Pairs well with bean dishes and curries.
• Try making a cilantro pesto or look up a recipe for sofrito.
