Buy cilantro online

Cilantro is a fresh herb commonly used in cooking for its bright, citrusy flavor, especially in Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Cilantro is usually best used raw or added at the end of cooking, as heat can diminish its bright flavor.

With proper storage, fresh cilantro can last about 1 to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Cilantro pairs well with salsas, tacos, guacamole, salads, curries, soups, and grilled meats.

If you dislike cilantro, parsley or a mix of fresh herbs like basil and mint can sometimes be used as substitutes, though the flavor will differ.

Start with a small handful of leaves and stems, and add more to taste, as cilantro’s flavor can be strong for some.
