As an aromatic stimulant and spice, coriander has been cultivated and used since very ancient times and is highly valued in herbal medicine. Coriander seeds can also be lightly toasted to enhance flavor. In India, roasted seeds are a common snack. The Coriandum sativum herb is believed to have been one of the earliest plantings in North America - dating back to 1670 in Massachusetts. Cilantro is the usual name for the leaf of the plant. Coriander and cilantro share many of the properties of related herbs in the Apiaceae family - and is similar in action to fennel and caraway.
