Selection Information

Usage: Salsa & seafood; Mexican, Indian, Chinese & Thai dishes.

Selection: Also called coriander, Chinese parsley and Mexican parsley, cilantro has a strong, sage-citrus flavor that many find irresistible. In general, herbs should be fresh looking, crisp and brightly-colored.

Avoid: Avoid herbs that are wilted, have dry brown areas, or are pale or yellow in color. Slimy looking dark spots with small areas of mold indicate old product or poor handling.
