Coriander (Coriandrum sativum), also known as Chinese parsley, the stems and leaves of which are usually called cilantro in North America, is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds (as a spice) are the parts most traditionally used in cooking.
