Herb Seeds - Coriander

Product Description

A dual purpose annual herb grown for its seeds or fresh young leaves. The seeds are delicious in cakes & when crushed add an orangey flavour to meat dishes. The young leaves are often called ' Cilantro' & are great finely chopped to give dishes a Latin touch. A decorative herb for the border thanks to its finely cut foliage.

Harvest the young green leaves sparingly once the seedlings are 15cm tall & for seed pull off the seed heads when they become brown but don't leave them too long on the plant or they will disperse themselves.
