When to Pick Cilantro from Plantにまつわる最新トピックを詳しく紐解きます。

Cilantro is a global citizen. It’s the coriander in Thai curries, the dhania in Indian chutneys, and the star of Mexican pico de gallo. Ancient Egyptians even used it in wine and for medicinal purposes.

Fun fact: About 4 to 14% of the population has a genetic variant that makes cilantro taste like soap. If you’re one of them, you’ve probably already stopped reading. For the rest of us, it’s a burst of freshness.

Bolting: The Plot Twist

Bolting is inevitable—it’s cilantro’s natural lifecycle. When the weather hits 85°F (29°C) or the days grow long, it races to flower. Don’t fight it; work with it.
