Cilantro is comprised of small leaves attached to long and slender green stems. The dark green leaves are generally broad, flat, and deeply lobed with feathery, serrated edges and a smooth and crisp consistency. In addition to the leaves, the pale green stems are edible and provide a crunchy, succulent texture. The leaves often contain peppery, tangy, and citrus-like nuances, and to some palates, Cilantro bears an acrid and unpleasant soapy taste.
