general information

Coriander is an annual herbaceous plant of the Apiaceae family, which originates from southern Europe and the western Mediterranean. C. sativum is commonly cultivated for its aromatic leaves (cilantro) and aromatic seeds (coriander).

The flowers are white to pink or lavender, borne above the leaves in loose folding umbels about 2 inches in diameter. The seeds ripen in round yellow-brown boxes. Ripe seeds have a pleasant aroma, but young seeds have an unpleasant smell and a bitter taste. Cilantro thrives in well-drained soils in sun to light shade in climates with cool, dry summers; the plant suffers in regions with high humidity and frequent rains
