From The Glossary: Coriander
Americans call this herb by it’s Spanish name, Cilantro, while the English call it Coriander. It’s the same herb. Coriander has a very strong smell and taste, and I’ve found people either really love or hate it. The leaves are commonly used to garnish soups, and the roots are used in a lot of dishes. Thais use the seeds as well for some curry pastes.
Storage: Store coriander in a bag in the refrigerator. Make sure there’s some air inside the bag, and that the coriander’s not wet. If you’re lucky, it’ll keep for up to a week. It goes bad pretty fast, so use it right away.
