Cilantro
Exceptional nutritional value
Fresh cilantro (coriander leaves), values for the raw herb.
Cilantro, the fresh leaves of the coriander plant, is used raw in Mexican, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese and Middle Eastern food: salsas, chutneys, curries, pho and salads. A 10 g portion has about 2 kcal and about 31 µg of vitamin K, roughly a quarter of the daily value, plus about 34 µg of vitamin A. Some people taste cilantro as soapy, a trait linked to smell-receptor genes; flat-leaf parsley is the usual substitute.
