Coriander, called cilantro in some parts of the world, is a herb that is related to carrots, parsley and celery. It tends to have a citrusy, tart and refreshing taste that is good in many types of foods that need something lighter to balance them out, such as spicy curries, Mexican dishes and beyond. Its floral and earthy flavours are commonly used in marinades, as spice rubs, sauces, chilis, curies, soups and more.
