Fresh cilantro for tacos, curries, salsa, salads, soups, and rice bowls.
Cilantro, also known as coriander leaf, is a high-impact herb for the indoor smart garden. A small harvest can brighten tacos, curries, salsa, soups, noodles, rice bowls, and salads.
It grows quickly, but like all cilantro it can become leggy or bolt as it matures. That makes regular harvesting especially important if you want the best flavor and texture.
Use leaves while they are young and tender. If the plant starts stretching, harvest more aggressively and start a new pod when the flavor declines.
Seeds germinate and the first herb leaves unfold.
Roots establish and stems begin branching.
First useful harvests are ready for cooking or garnishing.
Trim from the top to keep the plant compact and productive.
