Slo-Bolt Cilantro Herb Heirloom Seeds

Coriandrum sativum, commonly known as cilantro, is an annual herb that grows best in cool weather conditions. This variety is specifically bred to resist bolting, which enables a longer harvest period. Unlike other cilantro varieties, it won't flower and go to seed as quickly. When it finally does, you can gather the seeds and grind them for fresh coriander. Cilantro has a highly aromatic and spicy flavor, making it an essential ingredient in many Asian, Indian, and Mexican cuisines. You can use it fresh to enhance the flavor of salsas, soups, salads, meat, and fish. If left to flower, it serves as an attractor for many beneficial insects. Moreover, the coriander seeds obtained from the plant can be used to create pickling spice, curry, and chili powders.
