Cilantro: One of the World’s Most Powerful “Superherbs”

Often referred to as a “superherb,” cilantro packs a pretty big punch considering its size. Cilantro contains vitamins A and K, as well as high levels of vitamin C and the trace mineral manganese. Cilantro also contains an impressive lineup of other vitamins and trace minerals such as B vitamins, calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium.¹

In the antioxidant department, cilantro holds its weight with the best of them. Cilantro is such a powerful antioxidant, in fact, that it’s often used as a natural preservative, its oil helping to inhibits oxidation and prevent spoilage in food.² There are also antibacterial elements within cilantro that studies have shown can help prevent bacterial infections like Salmonella.

Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, published a paper in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry back in 2004 that showed inhibition of many different varieties of bacterial infections using cilantro extracts. A major constituent of cilantro, referred to in the study as “dodecanal,” was found to be twice as effective at killing Salmonella compared to a common antibiotic drug known as gentamicin.³ The study’s lead author, Isao Kubo, as well as his colleagues, were shocked to discover how effective cilantro can be at keeping certain health conditions at bay.
