Cilantro
Cilantro is a great spice used in Mexican, Thai, Indian and Chinese dishes. The Cilantro website reveals how it is grown and cultivated in the backyard garden plot. The site also contains several recipes that rely primarily on cilantro as the main ingredient or main flavoring component. It is thought that cilantro has properties that allow it to leach heavy metals from the body, so it is sometimes used in chellation therapy. The cilantro website also contains a history of the herb. It was originally found in the Mediterranean, but never caught on there. It made its way to Asia, perhaps via the spice road. The seed of cilantro is actually a well-known spice called coriander, which has a pleasant lemony flavor especially when freshly crushed and put into foods.
Some say that the best way to eat Cilantro is as a pesto. In this form it can be put on bread or crackers. Pestos are made by putting a green leafy vegetable food or spice into a blender, usually with other ingredients such as olive oil and garlic.
The Chinese were very fond of putting cilantro into chicken soups. The person who first discovered that cilantro has chellation qualities found it because he had been monitoring the metal levels in his system. After a visit to chinese restaurant he found high levels in a urine sample. It is an amazing fact that cilantro may be an effective way to get metals out of the system
