Cilantro 4 oz

Traditional medicine has long used parts of the coriander plant (including cilantro leaves) to treat pain, inflammation, gastrointestinal problems, and diabetes. In addition to color and flavor, cilantro adds nutrition to your plate. A quarter cup of raw cilantro leaves (about the size of a golf ball) provides 16% of the daily value (DV) of vitamin K, which supports bone health and helps wounds heal. It also offers 5% DV of vitamin A and 2% DV of vitamin C —two vitamins responsible for immune function. Beyond its vitamin value, cilantro also offers up important compounds called antioxidants, according to a 2022 review published in the journal Molecules. While cilantro has many types of antioxidants, one class, known as polyphenols reduce inflammation and prevent cell damage that may have otherwise contributed to premature aging and heightened disease risk. While nutritional benefits of cilantro are tremendous, we like to use our frozen cilantro juice shots in curries, soups, stir-fries, chili, taco/burritos and marinades. The Juice Subscription Blog will include a variety of ways to use cilantro juice in a juice-infused meal plan.
