The listing, 12 Cilantro seeds has ended.
Cilantro, or Chinese parsley, is the name given to the leaves of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum), while both the plant and the seed-like fruit are traditionally called coriander. This is changing, as many people who use the herb may be unaware that the plant yields another spice and refer to the entire plant as cilantro. Culantro, which refers to a different herb altogether, is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to coriander leaves. The coriander plant is in the same family, Apiaceae, as anise, fennel, dill, caraway, and cumin.
Initially, the coriander plant has leaves like parsley, to which it is related. When the plant bolts, producing a stalk on which flowers will grow, the leaves it produces are very different in nature and no longer as desirable. As a result, two different strains have been developed — plants that are slow-bolting and produce better leaves, and plants that are encouraged to bolt to produce flowers and fruit. When it does bloom, the plant has small white or pink flowers, and when grown for the spice coriander, it grows to an average height of 2 feet (60 cm), though it can get bigger
