Cilantro is a fragrant herb widely used in cooking across Asia, the Middle East, Central America, and many other parts of the world. Its use dates back to Ancient Greece, highlighting its long and rich history.

In Yakuzen (traditional Japanese medicinal cooking), cilantro’s distinctive aroma is believed to enhance Qi flow, support digestion, boost appetite, and alleviate stress.

However, some people may be allergic to cilantro, experiencing symptoms like throat swelling, facial swelling, or hives. If this happens, seek medical advice promptly.
