FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do coriander leaves last in the fridge?
When stored properly in a jar of water or wrapped in a damp paper towel, they typically last 7 to 10 days.
Can you freeze coriander leaves?
Yes, but they will lose their texture. It is best to freeze them chopped in oil or water in ice cube trays for use in cooked dishes.
How do I pick the best coriander?
Look for bright green leaves without any yellowing, wilting, or dark slimy spots. The stems should be firm.
What is a good substitute for coriander leaves?
Flat-leaf parsley is the best visual substitute, though the flavor is different. For a similar citrusy profile, try a mix of parsley and mint.
Are coriander stems edible?
Yes, coriander stems are completely edible and often have a more intense flavor than the leaves. They are great for stocks and pastes.
Why do some people think coriander tastes like soap?
This is due to a genetic variation that makes some people sensitive to the aldehydes found in the herb.
Is coriander the same as cilantro?
Yes, in North America, the leaves are called cilantro and the seeds are coriander. In many other regions, both are called coriander.
How should I clean coriander leaves?
Submerge them in a bowl of cold water, swish them around to let the dirt settle at the bottom, then lift them out and pat dry.
What are the main nutrients in coriander?
It is exceptionally high in Vitamin K and a good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and potassium.
Can coriander be eaten raw?
