Healthy, because
Thanks to its numerous essential oils (linalool, geraniol, borneol, coriandrol), coriander helps to relieve cramps and inhibit inflammation. In addition, the herb promotes digestion.
Even smarter
Not everyone likes cilantro - fortunately, the soup tastes just heavenly even seasoned with parsley!
