Cilantro is also used as a fungicide, insecticide, and repellent, as well as a source of essential oil (food flavoring, perfumery, aromatherapy)

Coriandrum sativum is a medicinal plant with the following properties: Antidiarrhoeal, Appetizer, Aromatic, Carminative, Depurative, Expectorant, Narcotic, Stimulant, and Stomachic

Cultivation

Very easy to grow, choose a sunny location in your patch of aromatic plants (or in a balcony for this purpose), in well-prepared soil enriched with organic matter for a better growth and a more abundant harvest

Sow in place in March-April in regions with severe winters, in September in areas where the frosts are not too severe

Your cilantro will spontaneously reseed and grow back each year if you do not harvest all the seeds
