About Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw

Cilantro — fresh coriander leaves — is the bright, citrusy, polarizing herb at the heart of Mexican, Indian and Southeast Asian cooking. Famously, a subset of people carry a gene that makes it taste of soap, which is why few herbs divide a table so sharply.

Used as a fresh garnish it adds very little in calories, but it carries vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C and antioxidants, along with the aromatic compounds behind its distinctive flavor. Like other tender herbs its fragrance is delicate and fades with cooking, so it's almost always added raw at the end.

For those who love it, a generous scatter of cilantro brings a fresh, zesty lift that defines a dish — best stirred in or sprinkled on just before serving.
