Dried Cilantro instructions

I could eat a whole bouquet of cilantro!

Not if I got to it first

I had a biochem proffessor a couple years ago tell us that the nasty cilantro complaint depends on whether or not you have a certain gene.

It tastes great to me, so I guess I don't have it.
I could eat a whole bouquet of cilantro! Yum!

Nifty! Makes sense.
Thumb wrestle you two for that last bouquet

Vachicks, let us know how it turns out!

Free, don't toss the plants if you have room to plant them. They are not unattractive, and the flowers attract beneficial insects to the garden. There is also a chance that you may learn to like cilantro (I did, after several tries). And, even if you don't, the seeds that form are also a useful spice, and don't taste at all like the leaves. Coriander seeds have a mildly sweet, citrusy taste. They are common in Indian cuisine, and I like to toss some into chicken broth as it simmers. They are enough on the sweet side that I have seen recipes that include the seeds in cookies and other baked goods. The plants are quite useful, even if you never learn to like the leaves.
