Growing Tips for Slow Bolting Cilantro

• Planting: Sow Slow Bolting Cilantro seeds directly in the garden after the last frost or start indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 6-8 inches apart. Cilantro prefers cooler weather, so sow seeds every few weeks for a continuous harvest.
• Sunlight: Cilantro thrives in full sun but can benefit from partial shade in hotter climates to prevent bolting. Aim for 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.
• Soil: Plant Cilantro in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.2 and 6.8. Incorporating organic matter or compost into the soil will improve fertility and drainage.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Cilantro has shallow roots, so regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods.
• Harvesting: Begin harvesting Cilantro leaves when the plants are 4-6 inches tall. Snip the outer leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. For continuous harvest, cut the leaves regularly to prevent the plant from bolting.

Culinary Uses of Cilantro

• Salsas & Guacamole: Fresh Cilantro is a key ingredient in Mexican cuisine, particularly in salsas and guacamole, where its bright flavor complements tomatoes, avocados, and citrus.
• Curries & Chutneys: In Indian and Thai cuisines, Cilantro is used to add a fresh, citrusy note to curries, chutneys, and soups. It pairs wonderfully with spices and coconut milk.
• Salads & Garnishes: Use Cilantro as a fresh garnish for salads, soups, and grilled meats. Its leaves add a vibrant color and a burst of flavor to any dish.
• Homemade Pesto: Blend Cilantro with garlic, nuts, olive oil, and lime juice to create a unique twist on traditional pesto. This can be used as a sauce for pasta, spread on sandwiches, or as a marinade.
