Alternative name: Cilantro, Coriander

Storage: Fresh leaves can be stored refrigerated for about 5 days or so, and dried caraway seeds can be kept sealed for more than a year.

Eating parts: dried seeds, fresh leaves and shoots.

How to eat: The leaves are often found in Chinese cuisine and are usually used for flavor or garnish, and can be stir-fried, cooked in soups or served cold. In the Middle East, North Africa, and even India, caraway seeds are an important spice that can be used in stews, marinades, soups, and even desserts.

Taste highlights: Fresh cilantro is best added just before the pot is ready to cook, so it doesn't get cooked. The flavor of the seeds is completely different from the leaves and should not be used in place of each other.
