Dried cilantro is the dehydrated form of fresh coriander leaf, used as a culinary herb to season soups, sauces, marinades and spice blends across Latin American, Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines. Because it is used in small pinches rather than large portions, the per-100g figures reflect a concentrated snapshot: 279 kcal, 21.9 g of protein, 4.8 g of fat, 41.7 g of carbohydrates and 10.4 g of dietary fibre. The drying process concentrates minerals and vitamins significantly — dried cilantro contains 4466 mg of potassium, 1246 mg of calcium and 694 mg of magnesium per 100 g, alongside 1359.5 mcg of vitamin K and 566.7 mg of vitamin C.
