Lifestyle Desk, New Delhi. We all have an old habit of buying green coriander from the market, plucking its leaves lovingly and throwing the remaining stalks and roots in the dustbin considering them as 'garbage', but do you know that you are unknowingly losing the real taste of the food? Chef Ranveer Brar explains that the reality is that 80% of the flavor of coriander is in its stalk and the remaining 20% is in its roots. Come, let us understand this in detail.
The real mathematics of taste
You will be surprised to know that the real taste of coriander is not in its soft leaves, rather 80% of its taste is in its stems and the remaining 20% is in its roots.
Now you might be wondering what is the use of leaves then? Chef says that the truth is that God has not made the leaves just for show or decoration. The leaves have a mild floral scent, while the stalks have a very strong and deep flavor. The taste of the roots is slightly woody, which brings a different flavor to the food.
