Cilantro is a fresh leafy herb that is used as a spice in cooking. It weighs only 0.1 and does almost nothing to fill the stomach. Its value lies in seasoning dishes, since it fits into a wide range of savoury meals.
Fresh Cilantro spoils within a week, so it is best used soon or dried for later. It comes from restaurant and home fridges, and a farm can grow it from Cilantro Seeds. The best occupations for herbs are the Fishing Guide and the Park Ranger. Each starts with the same Foraging skill.
Eating
Eating fresh Cilantro lowers hunger by just 1. It holds almost no calories and no carbohydrates, protein or fat. As a snack it is close to worthless. It makes sense only as a seasoning added to a meal.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
Cilantro is a spice, so it does not take up one of the ingredient slots in a dish. Adding it to a dish brings flavour without crowding out filling ingredients. It goes into Stir Fry, Pizza, Omelette, Burrito, Salad, Sandwich, Soup, Stew, Taco, Burger and Hotdog. In each one it adds 1 hunger.
Fresh Cilantro can be dried with the Dry Cilantro recipe. Dried Cilantro keeps without spoiling and works as the same spice.
These dishes take the Cilantro as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Farming
Cilantro grows from Cilantro Seeds. A plant takes about 20 days to grow and gives 4 to 6 bunches at harvest. The sowing season runs from March to May, and April is the best month to plant. Cilantro planted from July through to January does poorly.

Storage
Fresh Cilantro stays fresh for 6 days and is fully rotten by day 10. A fridge slows both counts down. Drying it is the better choice for keeping it longer.
Locations
Cilantro is an uncommon find outside one kind of restaurant. Mexican restaurant kitchen fridges hold it more than a third of the time. Restaurant and fancy restaurant kitchen fridges carry it only rarely. A fridge in a house turns it up now and then by luck.
