Ocado Coriander (Coriandrum sativum).
As another small step towards avoiding waste, we've removed the elastic bands
from our Ocado herbs. So although the leaves and stalks might not look as neat
and tidy as before, they will still taste just as good.
Coriander is often considered the 'Marmite of herbs' as you either love it or
loathe it! It has a fresh, citrus flavour and with a strong and distinctive
aroma. The leaves and shoots are often used as a garnish and it's a popular
flavour enhancer in cuisines as diverse as Mexican, Indian and Chinese.
Coriander stems have a stronger flavour than the leaves and can be added to this
whole range of curries.
Although native to Southern Europe and the Middle East, coriander is now grown
worldwide and is a slender, solid stemmed plant, growing up to 60cm tall.
Top Tip!
Coriander retains its freshness and flavour even when frozen, helping to
minimise food waste. Either place into a bag and seal or, freeze into ice cube
trays with oil and use as an easy recipe ingredient. You can freeze coriander
for up to 4 months.
