Origin
Cilantro, also known as coriander or Chinese parsley, is native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. It has been cultivated for thousands of years and is widely used in various cuisines around the world. The herb is believed to have originated in the eastern Mediterranean region, specifically in present-day Greece and Egypt. From there, it spread to other parts of the world through trade routes and colonization. Today, cilantro is grown in many countries, including India, Mexico, China, Thailand, and the United States. It is a popular ingredient in dishes such as salsas, curries, soups, and salads.
