By what name is coriander referred to in the USA?

l love the smell and how it taste.

Generally the fresh herb is called cilantro in the USA but we do still call them coriander seeds. They took me until I was an adult to learn they came from the same plant.

So good, I use it on many things.

Fresh pico de gallo doesn't taste right without fresh cilantro.

Maestro1313, And they say it benefits hypertension, it is good Mexican dishes, I like it in Salsas, soups, salads

I am one of the few that cilantro taste soapy ! fact!

RushMama2112, It's a genetic thing, I think! It is absolutely delicious for me and I'd eat it every day if I could!

Deb, Then it is not made right!

Mars V, NOT a good idea!

Lionessa, Pico de Gallo is SO good!

AlishaV, I agree. Both terms are correct in the USA. Some people call the plant Coriander even if growing it for the edible seed. And Cilantro if used for the fresh green herb. I love both uses. I once lived for a few years in a country where it must have been native. People there used it for both purposes and they used a lot of it. Fortunately I love it both ways! I have some smaller plants still alive in January here.

RushMama2112, What would happen if you ask Chipotle to hold the cilantro?🤔

RushMama2112, it is very good for you.

AlishaV, I am a senior citizen, I just learned this today! I love cilantro, and way back when, my mother used coriander,although I remember not liking it much!

We used to dislike the taste as well, however, after playing around with it in recipes we appreciate it more now. For those who dislike the taste, try counterbalancing it with pineapple or orange juice or coconut milk or etc. They pair well with each other and offer up a suprising and unique flavor combination.

I use to hate i though it tasted like soap, now I love it , go figure

jean, it is one of my favorites! I always have it in my kitchen a

I think people have different taste buds . We eat it all the time in our house

I distinctly dislike the taste of cilantro.

I can not acquire a sustainable taste for this herb...yuk!!

I don't get a soapiness but it's definitely putrid tasting!! Like something rotten 😝

Tastes like soap to me. I won't eat at Chipoltle because they put it in EVERYTHING! Ugh!
