 Flowering Cilantro Cilantro is a main ingredient in Indian, Asian & Latin foods. Use a sprig of fresh cilantro in chicken soup or chop it up in Mexican dishes. Add it fresh or dried to meals using coconut milk & lime. Crushed coriander seeds (FYI cilantro seeds are called coriander) are commonly used in pickling spice, curry & chili powders, salads, eggs, pastries & breads. To dry, cut at the base, lightly tie together & hang to dry in a cool dry location free from sun & bugs. Once dry store in glass jars. You can crush it by hand or add it a food processor (best to remove the stems first). Seeds should be harvested after they begin to turn brown & the outer coat cracks. Cut stem & place in a paper bag to collect the seeds. Rubbing the seeds will cause the outer shell to drop off. Seeds can be used as the spice coriander &/or saved to plant. Direct Sow: 1 - 2 weeks after last frost. Indoors: Not recommended.

 Hi there! My name is Jen. I'm a "tree hugging dirt worshiper" who has been organically farming for well over a decade. It never ceases to amaze me at how much I've learned & how much I am still learning. I have studied natural health, nutrition, & herbs for over two decades. Our health & the natural world around us are connected in ways we don't often realize. How we treat the land & animals directly affects us in both body & mind. My goal is to provide others with truly natural humane goods from my own little piece of paradise, & to freely pass along whatever knowledge I pick up along the way. I am grateful every day to be able to have such a worthwhile & fulfilling job surrounded by the beauty & unpredictability of Mother Nature.
