Coriander

We grew cilantro this summer.  Last month after reaching its peak, we allowed it to flower and harvested the coriander pods.  They have been drying on my counter, so I finally winnowed them and placed them in a jar.  Although coriander is a tiny herb, it is actually full of vitamins and minerals. It is particularly rich in Vitamins A and K, but also contains plenty of Vitamins B, C and E.   As for the mineral content, coriander has a phenomenal amount of potassium and is also a good source of calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Coriander is predominantly used to flavor curries and soups. I am considering making mine into garam masala.
