Coriander, known as “kuzbara” in Arabic, is a versatile herb widely used in culinary and medicinal applications. In the United States, the term “cilantro” refers to the plant’s fresh leaves, while “coriander” denotes its dried seeds. In many other parts of the world, including Egypt, both the leaves and seeds are commonly referred to as coriander.
