Serving size, prep, and portion notes for coriander leaves
Coriander leaves and cilantro are the same herb. Americans call the fresh green leaf cilantro and keep coriander for the seed, while the UK, Australia and most of the world call the leaf coriander. So if a recipe or a trigger list says coriander leaves, that is cilantro. On the food-chemistry side it is one of the gentler fresh herbs: low salicylate, low histamine and low FODMAP, which is why it rarely triggers intolerance symptoms even when other green herbs like basil, mint or parsley do.
Watch for
Same plant as cilantro, just a different regional name: coriander leaf (UK and Australia) equals cilantro (US). The dried seed is a separate spice with its own profile. / Graded low on salicylates, one of the lowest of the common fresh herbs, so it is a useful choice for salicylate-sensitive eaters where basil, mint, thyme and oregano all sit higher. / The soapy taste some people notice is genetic, tied to an OR6A2 smell-receptor variant, and is not an intolerance or an allergy.
