Badia Cilantro Spice, 3.5 oz

Dried cilantro is the leaf of the coriander plant, dehydrated and crumbled to preserve its bright, citrus-green character. It rehydrates the moment it hits a warm liquid or fat, making it the practical form for cooked dishes where fresh cilantro would wilt or dull. This 3.5 oz jar keeps a Mexican and Pan-Latin pantry ready year-round, regardless of what's in the produce drawer.

Common Uses

Stir into pot beans, arroz verde, sopa de fideo, and pozole. Season ground beef and turkey for tacos, picadillo, and albóndigas. Mix into marinades for pollo asado, carnitas, and grilled shrimp. Blend into chimichurri verde, salsa verde, and creamy avocado dressings. Sprinkle over scrambled eggs, lentil soup, and roasted cauliflower.

Cuisine Context

Cilantro is the green note running through Mexican, Cuban, Peruvian, Colombian, and Dominican cooking — sofrito, recaíto, mojo, aguachile. Cooks across Latin America use it daily, the same way Italian kitchens lean on parsley and basil.

Pro Tip

Add dried cilantro early in cooking when it's flavoring a stew or sauce, and again at the end for fragrance. To wake it up before sprinkling, rub the leaves between your palms to release the oils.
