The mother of our former maid Liang is helping to clean the coriander roots for selling out to the market. Roots, leaves and seeds of the coriander plant all have a very different taste. In Europe, people only use the seeds for baking bread or Christmas cakes, the use of the fresh leaves was common in Europe 150 years ago, but people forgot it in the kitchen (same with the Laos root also known under the name Galangal).
