Cilantro Seeds
(Coriandrum Sativum)

For a couple of herbs, coriander and cilantro sure do cause a lot of confusion. There's really no need for the fuss because they're just two parts of the same plant: cilantro is the pungent leaf and coriander is the citrusy seed. Cilantro is the staple ingredient in salsa and other Mexican dishes. Coriander is used whole or ground in curries, Oriental dishes, and savory baked goods.

After the flower umbels have formed, allow them to go to seed. Cut and dry the heads, and harvest the seeds.
