Also called Chinese parsley, cilantro has a thousand uses in the kitchen. 'Long Standing' in particular has excellent flavor, improved leafiness and, as the name infers, it is slow-to-bolt. Add a sprig to chicken soup or add chopped leaves to Mexican, Caribbean, or Asian dishes. The crushed seeds add intriguing flavor to stews, beans, and cookies. Can be grown indoors for fresh cilantro leaves year-round. Cilantro grows best in cool temperatures.
