Who knew coriander is also known as cilantro? Cilantro is the Spanish name for coriander. Interesting, isn’t it? Cilantro has many health benefits of which include:
ridding the body of heavy metals, protecting the body against oxidative stress, lowers blood sugar levels, prevents urinary tract infections, eases digestion, lowers anxiety and stress levels, improves sleep, protects the body against cardiovascular disease, and so much more! These benefits have me wanting a bowl, right now! Enjoy!
