What is this food?
AI-assisted
Coriander leaves (kulantro/cilantro leaves depending on local use) — a leafy herb used mainly for flavoring in Filipino dishes.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted
Coriander leaves are low in calories (about 37 kcal per 100 g) and provide dietary fiber (3.5 g) that can help keep your digestion regular. They also have small amounts of carbohydrates and sugar, plus very little fat (0.6 g) and low sodium (29 mg), which makes them a helpful add-on to meals. The fiber content is especially useful when you’re eating 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks a day, because it supports a more balanced daily intake.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted
  • Use coriander leaves as a finishing herb (add near the end) to keep their fresh taste.
  • Pair them with balanced meals: add to rice meals with ulam (protein) and gulay (vegetables) for better fullness.
  • For snacks, you can add chopped coriander to egg-based dishes or veggie sides instead of relying on salty toppings.
  • If you’re watching sodium, herbs like coriander can add flavor without needing extra salt.
Common Filipino dishes
Sinigang, Tinola, Adobo (as garnish), Bistek Tagalog, Pancit Canton, Ginisang gulay
