Basil and cilantro are ideal to plant together because they both love full sun and plenty of moisture. If you're planting them together in a pot and planning to make pesto with your basil, though, you may want to grow the basil by itself since you'll need a lot of it.
Flat leaf parsley and cilantro look very similar but they are in fact different herbs. You may know cilantro by its common name which is coriander
basil, parsley, oregeno, rosemary, cilantro and marmite!
No, it is not Basil.
Indian Basil is known as Tulsi. Tulsi is having a stronger flavor than normal Basil. Otherwise both are same.
Either cilantro or green chiles would be the most common options. Green tomatoes and tomatillos also.
The most important thing to remember when growing cilantro is that it does not like hot weather. Cilantro growing in soil that reaches 75F will bolt and go to seed. This means that the ideal cilantro growing conditions are cool but sunny. You should be growing cilantro where it will get early morning or late afternoon sun, but be shaded during the hottest part of the day.
Maybe, it you like the taste of cilantro. It is not the same as parsley and would give the dish a different taste.
I can tell you that Tulsi is biologically a relative of the basil plant. Tulsi is also known as Holy Basil as it is considered sacred in for worshp of Krishna and Vishnu. I am unaware of of the background and uses of Tukham
Cumin and cilantro are two different plants that are not the same species. Cumin is the ground up seeds of the plant Cuminum cyminum and cilantro the leaves from Coriandrum sativum.Also, cilantro (leaves) and coriander (ground up seeds) come from that same species, Coriandrum sativum. Perhaps you were thinking of coiander instead of cumin?
Pinch it. Cilantro is actually the same plant from which Coriander is derrived, so even if it does go to seed, one can find wonderful uses for it.
While cilantro and parsley are different herbs, many different sources indicate that cilantro can be used as a substitute for parsley. Those same sources indicate that chervil is the best substitute; so, if you have any chervil, you might want to use that instead. The measurements appear to be the same. In other words, if your recipe calls for 1 tsp. of parsley, you would use 1 tsp. of cilantro or 1 tsp. of chervil.
One teaspoon of dried basil is equal to 1 Tablespoon of fresh basil. This ratio is the same for all fresh and dried herbs.
