Santo coriander is a variety known for its rapid growth and good tolerance to changing conditions. It produces abundant, bright green, finely cut leaves that are very aromatic from the first harvests. Its characteristic fragrance, both fresh and lemony, is appreciated in many cuisines around the world.

In the garden, Santo stands out for its vigor and its ability to quickly produce usable leaves. However, it is sensitive to prolonged heat, which encourages flowering. Grown in cool to temperate conditions, with successive sowings, it offers a regular production of tender leaves.

This variety adapts well to both open-ground and container cultivation, allowing for better management of watering and sun exposure. Harvested young and frequently, it retains a fine texture and a balanced aroma.

In the local culture, Santo coriander is seen as a plant of rhythm and opportunity. It reminds us of the importance of timing: sowing, harvesting, and starting again, following the rhythm of the season.

• Sowing: Easy germination

• Cultivation: Easy plant to grow

• Growing season: Cool to temperate season

• Growth: Rapid growth

Note: sow in successive stages and choose a slightly shaded location during warm periods to delay flowering.

Coriander Santo is used fresh to flavor salads, salsas, curries, soups, and Asian or Latin American dishes. The leaves should be added at the end of cooking to preserve their aroma. The seeds, once ripe, can also be used as a spice, offering a milder, lemony flavor.

Coriander has been cultivated since ancient times and occupies an important place in many culinary traditions around the world.
