Title: cilantr0
Post by: tp4tissue on Sun, 05 June 2022, 07:57:12
been grow'n it in the backyard,  eating ~$2-3 worth every day, it'd cost a fortune at the store, the prices are off the rails. a bit of vinegar and salt, then pound rice. it's like running infinite money hack.(https://cutekawaiiresources.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/43.gif?w=560)

A little cilantro goes a long way for me.

What is that?
Some kind of parsley?

Some people love cilantro (the leafy greens whose seeds make coriander - which has a very different flavor) but others have a genetic distaste for it. I like it and my younger brother hates it.

It is found most in Thai and Mexican cuisines.

"Coriander" also refers to the leaves an in fact the whole plant, I think it means the same thing in this case.

I have that gene thing where it tastes like soap but unlike most who taste it like that I can bear it. Use it sparingly though, and only in very specific dishes.

Ah, so its coriander? I don't like it, prefer flat leaf parsley.

I have the soap gene.

You could also plant the ends of spring onions and see them grow back. If they sprout flowers they might need a bit of fertiliser though.

Tp4 also has the soap gene, but still enjoy cilantr0.

Kinda let it grow too stiff,  there's alot of umami if you chew the stems, but they're too hard and plentiful to be practical for manual chewing.

Vitamix , comes out a thick green paste, very good for a chili sauce.

Cilantro is even worse than parsley as far as bolting when the weather gets hot.

Cutting off even the tiniest beginnings of flowers as soon as they appear might buy you a little time.
