Coriander, also known as the Chinese Parsley, Cilantro, Dizzycorn and Japanese Parsley, is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. It is among the the first spices used by mankind, having been known as early as 5000 BC. Its description is also mentioned in Sanskrit writings dating from about 1500 BC. Coriander is referred to in the Bible, in the books of Exodus and Numbers, where the colour of manna is compared to it. Romans introduced it to Britain and coriander was widely used in cookery and medicine until the Renaissance, when an array of new aromatic spices replaced it. Historical findings suggest that ancient physicians like Hippocratic and Pliny were familiar to it. In culinary context coriander refers to either the seeds of the plant (used as a spice), or to its leaves (used as a herb).
