Coriander, locally known as dhania, is a widely used aromatic herb in Kenyan cuisine, prized for its fresh, citrusy flavor and rich nutritional benefits. Both its leaves and seeds are edible, with the leaves commonly used to garnish soups, stews, and salads, while the seeds add depth to spice blends. Coriander is easy to grow, thriving in Kenya’s moderate climate with minimal maintenance. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as antioxidants, coriander not only enhances dishes but also supports digestion and overall health. A must-have in every kitchen and garden!
