HERB SEEDS - CORIANDER - CILANTRO offers you fragrant coriander at your fingertips, ready to enhance all your dishes. This compact seed kit is designed for balconies, terraces, and small vegetable gardens, to provide fresh leaves and aromatic seeds throughout the season.

What makes this kit unique

• Reliable germination and steady growth thanks to a rigorous selection of seeds, designed for robust growth even in pots.
• Progressive harvesting: plant in small batches every 2 to 3 weeks to have fresh leaves continuously and, depending on your needs, allow seeds to mature for your homemade spice.
• Culinary versatility: delicate leaves flavor salads, salsas, and sauces, while whole or ground seeds add warmth and fragrance to curries, marinades, or vinaigrettes.
• Adapted to various environments: ideal for balconies, terraces, or gardens, with sunny to partially shaded exposure.

Planting, maintaining, and optimizing your harvest

• When and where to plant: sow directly in the ground after the last frosts or in pots on a well-lit balcony. Choose a spot that receives about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day.
• Depth and spacing: lightly bury seeds 0.5 to 1 cm deep and space rows or pots 8 to 15 cm apart to allow each plant to develop leaves and stems without competition.
• Watering and soil: keep the substrate slightly moist and ensure good drainage. Light, well-drained soil promotes rapid leaf development and prevents stagnant roots.
• Rotation and succession: for continuous harvests, practice staggered sowing every 2 to 3 weeks to prevent premature bolting and prolong production.

Harvesting, storing, and practical uses

• Harvesting leaves: when the plant reaches a sufficient height, pick young leaves from top to bottom to encourage new growth and crisp leaves throughout the season.
• Harvesting seeds: let the plants go to seed and harvest them when the fruits turn brown and dry easily. Separate them and store them in a cool, dry place; you will thus obtain ready-to-use ground coriander.
• Practical uses: fresh leaves add an aromatic touch at the end of cooking or as a garnish, while seeds can be added directly to marinades, sauces, or vinaigrettes for a fragrant and warm note.
• Optimal storage: store leaves briefly in the refrigerator to preserve their fragrance; keep seeds in an airtight container, away from light and humidity.

Who is this ideal for?

• Gardening beginners and cooks who want fresh ingredients all year round without effort.
• People living in apartments or with little space: the kit is perfectly suited for pots and micro-gardens.
• World cuisine enthusiasts who want to enjoy authentic coriander flavor, from the fresh bouquet of leaves to the warm spice of the seeds.

With this kit, coriander is cultivated gently and harvested on demand, for a more vibrant and aromatic culinary experience with every dish. Try it in your crispy salads, herbaceous sauces, and homemade vinaigrettes, or grind the seeds to awaken your curries and marinades with a pure touch of coriander.
