About Cilantro

Cilantro is grown specifically for its pungent, fresh green leaves. In terrace gardens, it thrives in wide, shallow trays during the cool North Indian winters. Succession sowing every two weeks ensures a continuous supply for garnishes and chutneys without the plants bolting all at once.
