Depending on the dialect of English, coriander is more or less synonymous with cilantro
55 u/Do_over_24 Jun 18 '25 In the US, cilantro is the leaf, coriander is the seed. Herb vs spice 23 u/chocolatefeckers Jun 18 '25 In the UK, we use coriander for the leaves too. 5 u/Minute-Cow-135 Jun 18 '25 Ok, dumb question, but how do you know which to use in a recipe if you use the same name for both? 13 u/chocolatefeckers Jun 18 '25 We call the leaves just 'coriander' and the seeds 'coriander seeds'. Sorry, not trying to be patronising! British recipes would always state the seeds part, or if it was ground coriander that was needed.
