It is on the way to produce a flower bunch. Some say that flower bunches should be removed to favour vegetative growth of the plant with more leaves. But what I have found is that when a flower bunch is removed another one appears soon on the side. The leaves are very useful for culinary purpose and needs only much smaller amount compared to cilantro to give flavour to your curries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>African Coriander, also known as Mexican coriander and sawtooth coriander, is cultivated worldwide and is used as culinary herb.
