Can someone please tell me what cilantro is. Im making tom salsa and that is in the ingriedients.?
Actually, it’s not spicy at all. It’s a pungent smelling leafy herb, only purchased fresh, and its scent is vaguely citrus in nature. You will always smell it long before you taste it, and in my experience, the smell and flavor are addictive. It tastes and smells nothing at all like parsley. I eat alot of salsa, and once I started mixing in chopped fresh cilantro, I quickly began adding more and more each time, until half the bowl was cilantro! There is of course a chance that you may dislike cilantro, as it has a very particular scent and flavor, but salsa, guacamole, tacos, etc. are dead without it, in my opinion.
