Fresh Herbs Coriander Bunch

Fresh coriander is one of the most aromatic herbs in the bunch — bright, citrusy and distinctly flavoured, with roots, stems and leaves all usable in the kitchen. A bunch goes a long way when you use it properly. Coriander is a staple across South-East Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern and Mexican cooking, and once you're in the habit of keeping it fresh, you'll find it lifts almost everything.

Look for vivid green leaves with no wilting or yellowing. Store stems-down in a glass of water in the fridge, loosely covered, and it'll stay fresh for up to a week. Available year-round.

Stir through curries and dals just before serving. Blend roots and stems into marinades and curry pastes. Scatter leaves over tacos, banh mi or a Vietnamese salad. Mix into a fresh salsa with lime, chilli and tomato.
