Coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), also known as cilantro or Chinese parsley, is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae.
All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking. One preliminary study showed coriander essential oil to inhibit Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli
