Product Description

Cilantro's taste is a fragrant mix of citrus and parsley. Cilantro has a very pungent odor and is frequently found in Mexican, Caribbean and Asian cooking. Like Parsley, Cilantro is often sprinkled on the top of cooked dishes, curries, sauces, soups and stews. We like cilantro best in Mexican dishes - add it to bean dips, salsas or mix it in with low fat sour cream and use it as a topping for burritos, chili, enchiladas or tacos. In Asian dishes we like to use it in stir fries. Cilantro works well in combination with avocado, chicken, chili peppers, fish, ice cream (yes ice cream), lamb, mayo, pork, rice, salads, salsas, shellfish, sour cream, tomatoes and yogurt. Use dried cilantro in place of fresh a good general rule of thumb is 2 Tablespoons of dried cilantro for every 1/4 cup fresh cilantro.
