Sooooo yeeeeah... After I put this video together, I realized my stomach was grumbling VERY LOUD and it actually got picked up by the mic. Hopefully y'all can't hear it! If you can, leave me the timestamp. 😂
I actually love eating the cilantro seeds while they're still green, they have such an intense delicious flavour in small quantities they're great as garnish on food
Coriander is my favorite flavor for salmon - make a bed of minced garlic, your favorite hot sauce and coriander in a skillet....then fry your salmon fillet right on top...squirt of fresh lemon to finish.
Excellent video that I found clear, very helpful and informative as I’ve now developed the green coriander seeds and wanted to know the best time to harvest them. Thank you!
Hello thanks for the instructional video. My cilantro has grown a bit like 7ft bushes full of cilantro which has been enjoyed over and over again. The seeds were sowed in early March however during the storms that caused wide spread disaster with flooding here in San Diego, it got very muddy and seeds were washed all over the garden. Now they are beautiful large bushes with tons of little flowers and seeds. FYI I am a weekend gardening junkie so just wanted to share my gardening story and love your videos.
After the seeds are nicely dried, I hand-sift out any non-seeds (stems, the occasional small bugs), I like to dry roast them in a frying pan, no oil. Frequent jiggling of the pan keeps the roasting even. Just go by the wonderful smell to know when they’re ready.
@@ReSprout Yes, Indian food, or pretty much anything really. On mushrooms pre-cooking for an omelette. On onions frying in butter before adding a steak. And if I use my coffee grinder on them, even the coffee has that awesome aroma. I also hear that because they share the terpene linalool with blueberries, they go well together. I'll have to figure out a way to combine them. Like adding black pepper to peach pie.
I tried something different last season. Since my cilantro always bolts in the summer, I tried sowing mid fall and my cilantro over wintered into spring! Best cilantro I have ever grown, it was so tasty and kept producing well into early summer! Now it's going to seed and I plan on doing the same process again this year!
That's a great idea! I am gonna have to try that. I am usually so lazy by the time fall comes around though. It's like 4 o'clock on a Friday afternoon LOL.
@@jenniferkellogg3457 I'm in zone 8a coastal BC. We had a terribly long deep freeze last winter, it wiped out my cilantro and artichokes and froze our pipes, unfortunately. It's also been cooler than usual this time of year so my cool weather crops are doing well. l've got some garden videos posted if you want to check them out!
Yes I've gotten Jennifer Garner before! There's another RUclipsr, too, she does nail polish videos that people have told me I look like. And she DOES. Very eery.
Thanks for the tips. I am going to let mine go so it will hopefully come back next season with even more plants. I have a good amount of seeds that are just turning brown. I love the content and you have a beautiful garden.
I planted my cilantro in hopes of it bolting and going to seed sooner as I was at the last of my seed package and forgot to harvest the seeds the last couple of crops 🤦 I wasn't too sure when to harvest them, so thank you!!
That was very helpful! My cilantro plant is getting kind of heavy and falling over but I will see if I can get a stick to keep it upright because I’m really excited about my coriander. Thanks for the video!!😀
Homestead Overland haha! Yes I’m hiding over here! This is more my endeavor than Magellan’s. His job is to eat the veggies I drag in from the front yard. 😂
Hi Vic, I'm in 7A on Long Island in NY. We get the same climate as most of Virginia because we're on the water, even though we're about 6 hours north of that. I'm pretty lucky!
We just had a rainfall and a lot of the coriander has bugs on it. Ready to harvest but too damp now. If not for the bugs I would leave it to dry in the garden. Should I go ahead and bring it in for a rinse and hang dry? What would you do?
Haha! Let me know how that goes. I JUST, for the first time, ran across a recipe that called for cilantro roots. They were blended into a sauce. I should have saved it!
Technically no, because it's not a perennial. However, it's self-seeding, meaning the seeds will drop to the ground (or your pot) and grow like that. It's not guaranteed, but you have a pretty good chance of that happening. Cilantro almost always reseeds in my garden!
you are Adorable and great. Could you please comment how this process would work in climate like chicago?, when would you plant the seeds?, Jan, Feb, March?
Hey Leo! I have a planting guide on my website actually that includes cilantro (coriander). The planting date is based on frost date where you live but a lot of people plant cilantro successively, so a few plants every few weeks, all season long, to have continuous cilantro. You can get the planting download here: resprout.com/planting-guide/
Every farmer (and gardener) has to deal with pests and diseases. Even indoor cultivation has pests. It's part of the territory, unfortunately. You got this!
Thanks -- are you saying that you never wash them? I have many in my garden now that are brown so I will get them now -- but I would have washed them -- then allowed them to dry -- but you don't mention washing them. Can you clarify that detail for me? Thanks so much!!!
Thanks for this video. Very helpful information! But how do you get such large seeds? Mine seem so small. Maybe I need bigger pots for the cilantro to allow the plants to grow larger and healthier before seeding?
There’s so many factors, it’s hard to say. Could be variety or watering or sunlight or soil too. Generally though, the healthier a plant is, the bigger it gets.
If I harvest my coriander seed when its green and let it dry out, then save it to plant again, will it work? Or should I just let the seed turn brown and then pull the seed out to replant?
Yes, likely at some point they will just start decaying in the weather. Depends on your climate though! If you have very dry climate you might be very good for a long time.
@@ReSprout thanks. We're just outside Vancouver BC. Wet zone 8. The seeds I pulled got spilled by my kids haha. But the plant self seeded and I had tones
So can they be harvested when they are purple? And I want to use them for spices, so can I just dry them myself and they'll be just as good?😊 and thanks for an education video in this 🙏🏼
Wait until they're dried and light brown if you want to use them as a spice or a seed. I have seen a few recipes use them green, though it's a different flavor.
Up to you! Depends how skeeved out you are by all that. Myself, I've eaten way too many things straight out of the garden (blackberries! strawberries!) to get too crazy about it. If it's clearly dirty, yes. If it's crawling with insects or larva, definitely! (Stuff gets a sink bath, then). But if it looks fine to the naked eye, I say heck with it!
I have slo-bolt cilantro. The seeds seem tiny compated to yours but maybe I just picked it too soon. I'll let the rest of the plants dry clear out before harvesting them. I was just afraid they would drop their seeds and I would lose them in the soil.
@@ReSprout I tried Calypso variety, but really didn't notice much of a difference from regular varieties. Internet search came up with these varieties as slow-bolt, but if you search for slow-bolt cilantro, you'll find it for sale: Popular slow-bolt cilantro varieties include 'Calypso,' 'Long Standing,' and 'Santo.'
I grow coriander last couple years . First year I grow was nice and no pest problem. But last year I grow I got a big aphids problems . Try everything. End up all those plants pulled off
Coriander is usually pest-free. I'd say just give it another go, maybe switch something up like the location, or the crops next to it (sometime that can draw pests).
@@ReSprout yeah I wonder why the first year of growing coriander are no issues at all . Oh and We’ve got a heavy rainy summer the second year maybe that’s why . Next to it is my kale plant
Oh you must live in the western U.S. right? I went out there last year. Us New Englanders definitely say cil-AN-tro and got a few looks when we were traveling.🙃
@@ReSprout yeah! Can't wait. I learned how to make your trellises by watching your channel. Thank you for the information. I'm sure making videos and doing life is a difficult juggling act. I just wanted you to know that you are loved, appreciated and missed. I hope you have a great day.

Carla Clark Thank goodness! 😅
I had no idea the cilantro root was edible. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try that.
I cannot speak to it's yumminess but others do indeed ingest it! 😀
It’s crucial to Thai curry pastes. I think they typically use it when they’re younger
I actually love eating the cilantro seeds while they're still green, they have such an intense delicious flavour in small quantities they're great as garnish on food

I do try to amuse. 😉
Great video. Short to the point and the information I was looking for.
Glad to hear it!
Great tips thank you so much🌱
You are so welcome!
Almost 2 years post your recording but still great info! TY!
Hey, coriander has been used for thousands of years. Hopefully this info will still be good for a bit longer! :-)
Its still good today!!!@ReSprout

The seeds from your plant appeared mouldy, yet the ones that you said you collected looked perfect, almost store brought? weird?

Hello,
Curious as to which gardening zone are you in, April?
Hi Vic, I'm in 7A on Long Island in NY. We get the same climate as most of Virginia because we're on the water, even though we're about 6 hours north of that. I'm pretty lucky!
We just had a rainfall and a lot of the coriander has bugs on it. Ready to harvest but too damp now. If not for the bugs I would leave it to dry in the garden. Should I go ahead and bring it in for a rinse and hang dry? What would you do?
They don't fall off too easily. I'd just leave them out there and wait for a dry day!
Ahh I yanked half the plant out while the seeds were still green. I still have quite a bit left though, thankfully.
Maybe I'll try the roots now 😬
Haha! Let me know how that goes. I JUST, for the first time, ran across a recipe that called for cilantro roots. They were blended into a sauce. I should have saved it!
I took my seeds off green and assumed they will dry off the plant. Is that correct?
Can I cut the stems with green seeds and then wait till they’re ready to harvest or do the seeds have to dry on the rooted plant?
That might work! I think the only thing I'd be worried about is if the seed is mature enough. If you try it, let us know how it goes!
Nice review, thanks for sharing Friend
Glad you enjoyed!!
@@ReSprout oke sis
Thank you❤🙏
I think I left it too late to harvest as the brown seeds have gone moldy. 😕
Great video, thanks!
If I leave my cilantro plant in the pot over winter, will it grow back?
Technically no, because it's not a perennial. However, it's self-seeding, meaning the seeds will drop to the ground (or your pot) and grow like that. It's not guaranteed, but you have a pretty good chance of that happening. Cilantro almost always reseeds in my garden!
Good information 👍👍🙂
Thank you!
I did this but the cilantro seeds refuse to germinate.... what is going...?
Could be a lot of things! Moisture, soil, etc. Mix it up and keep trying!

My favorite food is pho and that has coriander in it (at least the way I learned to make it)
Another great thing to eat with coriander in it!
I want to be a commercial farmer soon of coriander, but a bit worried of pests and disease
Every farmer (and gardener) has to deal with pests and diseases. Even indoor cultivation has pests. It's part of the territory, unfortunately. You got this!
Must the seeds turn into that slight rose color to be viable for next year’s crop? Or can I start drying the plant while they’re still green?
Good question! I'm not sure! I always leave them on. If you experiment, I'd love to hear your results!
Thank you
Thanks -- are you saying that you never wash them? I have many in my garden now that are brown so I will get them now -- but I would have washed them -- then allowed them to dry -- but you don't mention washing them. Can you clarify that detail for me? Thanks so much!!!
I'd say, if you're gonna wash 'em just make sure they dry quickly. Maybe lay them out on screen or tray. As long as they don't mold you should be ok!
Thanks for this video. Very helpful information! But how do you get such large seeds? Mine seem so small. Maybe I need bigger pots for the cilantro to allow the plants to grow larger and healthier before seeding?
There’s so many factors, it’s hard to say. Could be variety or watering or sunlight or soil too. Generally though, the healthier a plant is, the bigger it gets.
I have bushels of bolted-dried cilantro....have really needed to know what-how to preserve the seeds!
Thnk u!

I would be worried that the seed's not mature yet though. You can try it! If you do let us know! I'd love to hear the results.
Is it possible to wait too long to harvest the seeds? My plants been brown for a while and I haven't gotten around to pulling the seeds off yet
Yes, likely at some point they will just start decaying in the weather. Depends on your climate though! If you have very dry climate you might be very good for a long time.

I love food from that region of the world. Love the spices!
Thanks for your video. Btw, it would be great if you turn the volume up a little bit. Thanks!

So can they be harvested when they are purple? And I want to use them for spices, so can I just dry them myself and they'll be just as good?😊 and thanks for an education video in this 🙏🏼
Wait until they're dried and light brown if you want to use them as a spice or a seed. I have seen a few recipes use them green, though it's a different flavor.
Do you need to rinse or clean the seeds before storing them?

South African sausage, secret is coriander
I love African food! Sounds yummy!
Is it necessary to wait until they’re dried out to harvest if you only plan on using them for dried spice, as opposed to planting?
You don't want to store them unless they're completely dry or they'll mold. You can dry them on the bush or inside, though.

You can bring them inside and just hang the whole plant upside down. You tend to lose some seeds that way, though. So just be gentle!

Sure! Why not! 😃

Can you harvest the pink seed?
Not really. They're not mature yet. So they wouldn't germinate as seed and don't taste good either.
If you pick the seeds green, can you still dry them out?
You can, but they'll probably not taste very good and likely won't be able to be used as seeds either since they're still immature.

Thanks for the information!
You bet!
I love this thank you for sharing! Is there anyway to clean the seeds prior to using them?
Hi Dina, I'm sure you could rinse them before drying. Make sure they dry quickly though or they might get moldy.
I would like to use roots what should I do to make them big?
I'm not too sure on that one! You might want to experiment with a couple different plants and check out the different results.
