Cilantro microgreens, young seedlings of Coriandrum sativum harvested 7-25 days after germination at 1-3 inches (2.5-7.6 cm) tall, feature vibrant green, delicate, aromatic leaves resembling flat-leaf parsley with a fresh, mild, citrusy, herbaceous, slightly spicy or peppery flavor that's savory, aromatic, and subtly sweet, milder than mature cilantro and lacking the soapy taste some perceive, making them a nutrient-dense, low-calorie addition (23 kcal per 100g) that exceeds mature leaves in concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support eye health, reduce inflammation, aid digestion, promote bone strength, and lower chronic disease risk, while chefs value their versatile brightness and texture for elevating dishes with minimal prep—ideal as garnishes on soups, stews, fish, poultry, or meat, in salads, salsas, dips, sandwiches, wraps, tacos, omelets, stir-fries, Asian, Mexican, Indian, or Caribbean recipes like cilantro lime shrimp, ceviche, pesto pasta, coconut rice, or smoothies, and paired with lime, avocado, eggs, scallops, shrimp, carrots, or cheeses.
