About Dhaniya (Cilantro)
Dhaniya (Coriandrum sativum), commonly known as cilantro, is grown for both its bright green leaves and aromatic seeds. The fresh leaves bring a sharp, citrusy flavor to chutney, dal, sabzi, and finishing touches just before serving. This slow-bolt strain is selected to hold longer before flowering, giving gardeners more time to harvest tender leaves during warmer days.
If allowed to mature, plants produce coriander seeds that can be harvested and used whole or ground, making dhaniya a dual-purpose herb for both fresh and dried spice use.
Why We Grow It
We grow slow-bolt dhaniya because it’s one of the most essential herbs in everyday cooking. Reliable in California’s cooler seasons and more forgiving in mild warmth, it provides steady leaf harvests and the option to collect coriander seeds later in the season.
