"I used to think it tasted like soap. Now I use it all the time. It helps my chicken or fish tacos and pico de gallo have “fresh” taste."

That is why I love cilantro - it is - to me - the essence of freshness and spring-time.

Yes, it is. I tried this recipe the other day:

It uses cilantro in the chicken, and salsa cruda, and as a garnish, and also dried coriander in the refries, lol. It was very good.
