Honest question. I'm terrified of failure ;-;
Anyway, I know I'm not the only one who's wished hand soap was edible.

It's what the Americans call coriander leaves. If you haven't come across that name either it is indeed a herb.

I had no idea the term wasn't used in other places. That's interesting. I'll have to keep that in mind in the future.

What is even more confusing is that apparently, "cilantro" is only used for the stems and leaves, while the rest of the plant (the seeds especially) are still called coriander.
