Leisure Organic Cilantro/Coriander Seed
Standard cilantro, available in organic seed.
In our trials, Leisure is very similar to Santo in uniformity, flavor, and bolt tolerance. Like the leaves and seeds, the flowers are also edible.
- Attracts Beneficial Insects: if allowed to flower, provides pollen and nectar for beneficial insects such as bees, hoverflies, and tachinid flies.
- Edible Flowers: Best used raw because the flavor quickly fades when cooked. Sprinkle to taste on salads, bean dishes, chicken, and spicy southwestern dishes. Mild cilantro flavor.
USDA Certified Organic.
