Organic Leisure Splits Cilantro Herb Growing Habits
Non-GMO (Coriandrum sativum) Organic Leisure Splits Cilantro grows as an upright annual herb that matures best in cool-to-temperate conditions. This Organic split-seed variety of cilantro reaches 1-2" high, developing medium-sized forest-green leaves with a verdant and spicy aroma. The serrated leaves will also provide a fresh, crisp, and bright flavor to many dishes. Organic cilantro will thrive during late spring or early fall. As the warm temperatures start to rise, your Organic Leisure Splits Cilantro plants will begin to bolt as their Coriander seeds develop, before blooming small white flowers.
The Various Microgreen Benefits of Organic Leisure Splits Cilantro Herb
Annual Organic cilantro not only provides nutrition and medicinal properties, but this heirloom split-seed variety makes an ideal microgreen, as gardeners note how this cool-season herb germinates easier. Also called "Chinese parsley", use Organic Leisure Splits Cilantro as a fresh garnish with mild spice! Sprinkle on tacos, salads, sandwiches, or simply eat raw as an Organic and bright microgreen!
The Benefits of Growing Organic Leisure Splits Cilantro Herb & Seed
As cilantro herbs thrive in cool-to-temperate conditions, their shorter growing season can be extended by harvesting the Coriander seeds or dried fruit after your plants have bolted from the heat. Gardeners benefit from using the dried and ground split-seeds of this variety for aromatherapy or as a flavor enhancement to curries. However, it's also noted how the verdant forest-green leaves have a different flavor than Coriander, which provides a more spicy taste. You can also pickle your Organic Coriander seeds. Leisure Splits Cilantro is one of the cool-season herbs that keeps on giving!
