Did you know?

The plant yields two culinary products with completely different flavors: its fresh leaves (cilantro) and its dried seeds (coriander).

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
