Coriander (or cilantro) can be a little polarising in taste, however it is a wonderful source of dietary fibre, manganese, iron and magnesium.
Coriander leaves are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Protein. The leaves also contain small amounts of calcium, phosphorous, potassium, thiamine, niacin and carotene.
For those with a low iron content in the blood, (which can result in shortness of breath, heart palpitations, extreme fatigue, and a decrease in brain functions) Coriander can be very beneficial as it is high in iron, which can reverse some symptoms of anaemia.
This delicious herb can also help with a number of other things like:
Lowering LDL (Bad Cholesterol)
It can help with the digestive system and promoted liver functions.
It can also stimulate insulin secretion and the lower the blood sugar levels
Vitamin K can be helpful for Alzheimer’s disease
Adding some coriander to your diet can be a very beneficial thing, however if you are taking Warfarin take it easy on this herb as it does contain Vitamin K.
