FUN HISTORY FACTS...


ilantro is probably one of the first herbs to be used by mankind.
Kept in palaces of ancient Greece at the end of the bronze age, about 1400 BC, it was also used in Egypt as a medicinal plant during the same era.
The Romans spread it throughout Europe, and it was one of the first spices to arrive in America.
Its smell gave rise to a very old superstition: To keep away demons, nothing is as effective as a handful of cilantro thrown on the fire, according to medieval sages.
Charlemagne, aware of cilantro's anti-bacterial properties, ordered it to be grown on all imperial farms. Its pronounced flavour went a long way in those days when spices were rare and costly.
