Cilantro, dried

The leaves of the Coriander plant.  Highly fragrant and has a distinct flavor that many find overwhelming.  Found often in Indian Chutneys and Mexican salsas and guacamole.  Dried cilantro has a milder flavor and will not be as bright or strong as fresh.

Suggested uses: Very tasty used fresh in salads and Indian dishes.   Dried can be used in nearly and Indian or Mexican dish, a salsa must.
