Once the plant reaches 6 inches, you can begin trimming larger outer leaves. Ensure you harvest only up to a third of the height of the plant at a time, to ensure it continues growing.
Prune your cilantro often to boost new growth.
Cilantro is another herb referred to in early texts including the Bible and Arabian Nights. Believed to have originated in the Mediterranean, it expanded throughout Asia and into Europe. It was one of the earliest herbs to be brought to the new world.
Cilantro is from the same family as celery and carrots, cilantro has high carotenoid (antioxidant) levels, which protect cell from free radicals. It has high levels of vitamin A, which is good for the immune system, good vision and the growth of children. It also helps reduce inflammation.
Cilantro can be used to add flavor to almost any dish. It is especially prevalent in South American and Asian cuisine. Try adding cilantro to your salad, stir fry or guacamole. It makes a huge difference and will enhance your dishes dramatically! The seeds of cilantro are called coriander and can be grounded on dishes or stews, and bring a delicate taste close to lemon.
