Herb Description and Taste

 CILANTRO VS. CORIANDER

Cilantro and coriander are different parts of the same plant.

Cilantro, usually refers to the leaves of the plant, which are used as an herb.

Coriander refers to the seeds, which are typically ground and used as a spice.

This herb is used to flavor many recipes and the entire plant is edible, though the leaves and seeds are used most often.

• Once the plants are established, they do not need as much water per week. Keep them moist, but be careful not to overwater them.

Herb Description and Taste

Celery root also known as celeriac is a root vegetable closely related to celery, parsley and parsnips. When growing, the leaves and stalk of the plant resembles the celery. Its taste has a nutty, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor with notes of celery and parsley.

Monitor the soil regularly to make sure it’s moist. Snap off any lateral leaf shoots to get a smooth crown. Towards the end of July, remove some of the outer leaves to make the root grow larger and smoother, then I cover it with soil or mulch to keep it blanched and tender.

Herb Description and Taste

Its taste and fragrance evoke coriander and lemongrass.

Give it full sun and don’t overwater! Also avoid over-fertilizing. Too much fertilizer will result in a lot of growth, but less flavor.
