Abstract

Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander, cilantro, Chinese parsley) belonging to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) family is an annual herbaceous aromatic plant widely cultivated and distributed in Asia, Europe, and Northern Africa. Coriander is a well-known culinary herb around the world and has a long history of use as a medicinal plant that dates back to 1500 BC. Dried fruits (usually called seed) and fresh leaves are the most commonly used parts of the plant. Coriander, as well as its essential oil, has been traditionally used to treat various diseases by different civilizations. This chapter covers the botanical properties, traditional uses, chemical composition, pharmacological activities, and the safety profile of coriander.
