Growing tips:

'Coriander' can be grown well from seed. The soil should not dry out, but it should not be too moist either. Water well after planting, too.

After about 6 weeks, the first leaves can be harvested. Ideally, the entire shoot is cut off. Cutting the buds early delays flowering, as the leaves become bitter after flowering.

Mixed culture:

Good neighbors: lettuce, cabbage, ginger, chili

Bad neighbors: chives, garden cress, parsley, carrots

Use:

The leaves and fine stems are chopped and added to soups, salads, and meat and fish dishes. They should not be overheated, as this will cause them to lose their flavor. The root can also be chopped or ground into a mortar and pestle and used in Asian dishes.

Coriander stays fresh the longest when it is harvested with the root and then stored well chilled.
