Native to Central America, but now cultivated throughout Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Favored where the true coriander (Coriandrum sativum) does not do well because it can stand hot, steamy weather. Leaves are tough, but if sliced and then chopped they are quite tasty. Unlike other corianders, this variety dries well, retaining good
color and flavor, and it can stand some cooking - properties that may become significant to the dried spice market.
