Coriander is part of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apiaceae<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plant family which boasts to have most of the world&#8217;s aromatic herbs with alternate feather-divided leaves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from coriander, common plants that are used in cooking include parsley, <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/benefits-of-celery-juice\/\">celery<\/a>, dill,<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fennel-oil-benefits\/\"> fennel<\/a>, caraway, celery, anise and parsnips, among many others. While today this herb is grown and used in dishes all over the world, it is originally native to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern parts of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to an article by the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">University of Iowa, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">records of this plant being grown as a spice were first recorded in the Anatolian region of present-day Turkey before spreading out to the Levant regions (aka modern day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and certain adjacent areas), Egypt, Armenia, southeastern Europe, and southern Russia (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/iwp.uiowa.edu\/silkroutes\/coriander-and-cilantro\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of physical description, the coriander plant is pretty short. It only grows up to 2.5 inches (60mm) high, with fragrant bipinnate leaves &#8211; leaflets themselves divided into smaller leaflets. Once the plant flowers, it can produce an umbel cluster of either pink or whitish flowers (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/plant\/coriander\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These flowers are what later transforms into the small fruit\/seed that we see sold at grocery stores or at the farmers market. In cooking, all parts of this herb can be used to flavor food &#8211; including the roots. Coriander roots are often used in Thai and Indian cuisines to make chutney, curry pastes and dips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/fennel-oil-benefits\/\">Fennel Oil Benefits, Uses, And Side Effects<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Cumin_Vs_Coriander\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32109 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4462-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4462.png 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4462-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4462.png 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4462.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fun_trivia_facts_about_cilantro\"><\/span><strong>Fun trivia facts about cilantro<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many people eat cilantro and like its smell, a small part of the population can absolutely not stand it.
