I used coriander for years in sweet dough for chala etc and didn’t know the plant was cilantro until I came to Texas. lol.
we bought four cilantro plants at the nursery this spring because hubbymayhem wanted to try making his own salsa. They immediately got leggy, the leaves started wilting and it went to seed. now i have new plants coming up but i also have seed that i have no idea how to handle. do i dry them, crush them, use them fresh... what the heck does one do with fresh coriander to make it usable?
