Coriander is an annual herb in the family of Apiaceae. It is also known as cilantro, particularly in America and other in India. Coriander is most commonly used as a garnish on most Indian Sabzis. The leaves are variable in shape, broadly lobed at the base of the plant, and slender and feathery higher on the flowering stems. All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are commonly used in cooking. The leaves have a different taste from the seeds, with citrus overtones.
