What Kind of Cilantro did I BUY?

[DawnCt1]

I bought two cilantro plants that were very small at the time. They have grown. They are not like the kind I am used to, with leaves. These are like the "leaves", if you could call them that, of an asparagus fern. Super thin. It smells like cilantro? Anyone familiar with this?

Not like any cilantro I've ever seen. Just what are you growing Dawn?

Can I use it in salsa.

 

[marlynnp]

Yes! It is good fresh, you may want to use a bit more than the regular cilantro.
I wouldn't bother using it in cooking - it's too mild.

Thanks, Should I cut off the blossoms like you need to do with basil?

Don't let it waste energy flowering unless you want the coriander (seeds).

Maybe you bought the "special" cilantro?
