Introduction: Coriander, also known as cilantro, has a unique fragrance in its tender stems and fresh leaves. It is often used as a garnish and flavor enhancer in dishes. Coriander is rich in nutrients, mainly including protein, vitamin C, fat, carotene, vitamin A, vitamins B1, B2, E, dietary fiber, and niacin. It also contains abundant trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, iron, iodine, zinc, selenium, manganese, etc. Additionally, coriander contains volatile oils and aromatic compounds such as flavonoids, linalool, decanal, sorbitol, and others. The distinct fragrance of coriander comes from these components, which have appetizing and digestive properties. Adding coriander to cooking can help eliminate the gamey smell of meat and make dishes more fragrant.
