Cook's Tips:

Cilantro, also called Chinese parsley or coriander, is a fresh herb with bright green leaves and a lively, pungent fragrance. Sold in bunches, it adds a distinctive flavor to Mexican and Asian foods. To store cilantro, place bunch with stem ends down in a glass filled with enough water to cover 1 inch of the stems. Cover loosely with a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
