Nutrition Tip

Cilantro has a health-supporting reputation that is high on the list of the healing spices. In parts of Europe, cilantro has been referred to as an “anti-diabetic” plant. In parts of India, it has traditionally been used for its anti-inflammatory properties. In the United States, cilantro has been studied for its cholesterol-lowering effects, and potent detoxifying effects.

Many of the healing properties of cilantro can be attributed to its exceptional phytonutrient content. Cilantro contains volatile oils rich in phytonutrients, including carvone, geraniol, limonene, borneol, camphor, elemol, and linalool. Cilantro’s flavonoids include quercitin, kaempferol, rhamnetin, and epigenin. Cilantro also contains active phenolic acid compounds, including caffeic and chlorogenic acid.
