Wikipedia
:''"Chinese parsley" redirects here. This can also refer to the unrelated ''Heliotropium curassavicum. Coriander (''Coriandrum sativum'') is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. It is also known as Chinese parsley or, particularly in the Americas, cilantro. Coriander is native to southern Europe and North Africa to southwestern Asia. It is a soft, hairless plant growing to 50 cm tall. The leaves are variable in shape, broadly lobed at the base of the plant, and slender and feathery higher on the flowering stems. The flowers are borne in small umbels, white or very pale pink, asymmetrical, with the petals pointing away from the centre of the umbel longer (5-6 mm) than those pointing towards it (only 1-3 mm long). The fruit is a globular dry schizocarp 3-5 mm diameter. The word derives from Latin “''coriandrum''” in turn from Greek “”."Coriander", ''Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd Edition,'' 1989. Oxford University Press. The Mycenaean Greek form of the word, ''koriadnon'' is "similar to the name of Minos' daughter ''Ariadne'', and it is plain how this might later evolve to ''koriannon'' or ''koriandron''."John Chadwick, ''The Mycenaean World'' (Cambridge: University Press, 1976), p. 119
[edit] About Cilantro
Cilantro is commonly associated with Mexican cuisine and is also popular in South Asian cultures. It has an aromatic flavor that is good both raw and cooked into dishes. Many people do not like the taste and describe it as tasting similar to soap. It is believed that the reason some people dislike cilantro is tied to the acidity level in their saliva, which causes it to taste different to them.
