Coriander, also known as cilantro, is a herb in the family Apiaceae. All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds (which are both a herb and a spice) are the parts most traditionally used in cooking.
Uses
Coriander can be effective at removing lead and nickel from water. In this case, place a handful of leaves in the container, stir the water and let the leaves sit in the water for at least an hour, removing and discarding them before drinking the water. Coriander has not been tested for the removal of other heavy metals, including arsenic and mercury.[1][2]
