Frequently Asked Questions
Learn about cilantro and coriander seed uses, growing for fresh leaves, and harvesting your own spice seeds.
Are cilantro seeds and coriander seeds from the same plant?
Yes. Cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, Coriandrum sativum. In many regions, cilantro refers to the fresh leaves, while coriander refers to the dried seeds used as a spice. The terminology varies by country, but both refer to different culinary uses of the same herb.
How can I grow coriander mainly for fresh cilantro leaves?
Sow coriander directly in fertile, well-drained soil and maintain consistent moisture. Harvest the leaves regularly once the plants are established, before extensive flowering begins. In warmer conditions, choose a cooler growing period and provide some afternoon shade to help delay premature bolting.
How do I harvest coriander seeds for cooking?
Allow some plants to flower and develop mature seed heads. When the seeds turn brown or tan and the heads begin to dry, cut the seed-bearing stems and finish drying them in a well-ventilated location. Separate the dry seeds and store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
