What's so great about our cilantro?

This cilantro doesn’t flower as quickly as other species. The leaves look kind of like flat parsley, but rounder. Cilantro is an annual plant. If you sow it every few weeks, you can harvest for a long time. Like most fresh herbs, Cilantro is super healthy and contains lots of vitamins: vitamin A, various B vitamins (including folic acid), vitamin C, and vitamin E. It’s also rich in iron and magnesium.

Cilantro can be sown directly into your garden box grow bag from April through August. 9 plants fit in 1 square patch. Cilantro plants grow best in cooler weather. So, give them some shade and keep the MM-Mix moist in the summer months. Keeping your plants cool will also prevent early flowering. If the plants do bloom, try the flowers: they’re edible too. That said, the growing process is easy: even slugs and snails will leave these plants alone. You can harvest the leaves after 5 weeks or so. If you sow every few weeks, you’ll always have delicious cilantro leaves at hand. You can read more about our cilantro here. Step-by-step sowing and growing instructions are in the Planty Gardening app.

How do you use cilantro?

Fresh cilantro leaves have a strong smell and a mildly sweet flavor, kind of like aniseed. Try a leaf before you cook with it. You can use cilantro in salads and sauces, stews, chicken dishes. It's great for Indian, Moroccan, and Thai cuisine. If the plants eventually flower, you can harvest the seeds as well. The seeds taste completely different and are widely used in oriental spice mixes or for pickling.
