Cilantro Microgreens

Microgreen

Coriandrum sativum

Overview
Cilantro Microgreens are delicate, tender seedlings harvested at 16-25 days, featuring thin stems topped with vibrant green, feathery leaves that resemble mature cilantro foliage. These heirloom microgreens deliver an intensely concentrated cilantro flavor—bright, citrusy, and distinctly herbaceous—making them a potent garnish and flavoring agent. Ideal for fresh applications like salsas, Asian cuisines, and contemporary plating, they add sophisticated herb character to dishes without bulk. Their moderate difficulty and preference for well-draining medium make them suitable for home cultivation under full sun to partial shade conditions.
