Coriander

The Essentials

Two tied bunches of fresh coriander on a dark table, rounded scalloped leaves on thin pale stems
Fresh coriander (geshniz) is sold in bunches — flat scalloped leaves, quite unlike the round dried seed.

Coriander is really two herbs in one. The cilantro leaf is cooling, for heat and reflux (stomach acid rising into the throat). The seed is warming, for gas and digestion.

Blended as CCF tea: coriander, cumin and fennel — it becomes the everyday Persian digestive that earns its place after most meals.
