Originally from the Middle East, in some Egyptian tombs it is represented as an offering and the Romans used it a lot. It is currently widely used in China, the Middle East and India, as it is one of the spices used to prepare curry. In Mexico they use it a lot, for example to prepare the famous guacamole. In Canarian cuisine it is used to prepare the green mojo that accompanies wrinkled potatoes. In many countries it is used as much as we use parsley.

It is an annual herbaceous plant, dark green in color and with small, slightly round leaves, also known by the name of "Chinese parsley" and from the umbelliferae family. The stem is erect with a height of 30-50 centimeters. The lower leaves are barely formed and provided with a stem, the upper ones are irregular and stemless. The flowers can be white or pink, gathered in umbels. The round beige seeds are used whole or ground. It adapts to any type of terrain, as long as it is exposed and sunny.

It is used both fresh and seed. It has a characteristic sharp and penetrating aroma. The seeds are less pungent than the leaves, sweet and have a slight lemon flavor. It is similar to parsley and the use can be similar, but the flavor is very different, much stronger, more penetrating and aromatic. The fresh leaves are used to flavor salads, rice dishes and to decorate dishes. Just a few chopped leaves can be added to chicken, lamb and vegetable dishes. It goes well with fresh sauces, guacamoles and fruits such as pear and mango. Its seeds are used to flavor oils and vinegars. It is used for both fish and meat, even in soups.
