Coriander / Cilantro (Dried) and IBS: what to know
For IBS notes, record whether your jar contains dried leaves or ground seed, and the amount added to the recipe. Confusing the two makes portion comparisons less useful. Include the herb in sauces and garnishes as well as the main dish, especially when several components are seasoned separately.
Gut-friendly ways to eat coriander / cilantro (dried)
Measure dried cilantro before adding it to a soup, dressing or vegetable dish. Divide a shared recipe's herb weight by the portions actually served. Check ground coriander when a recipe calls for the seed spice, or dried chives when choosing another dried herb; each ingredient has its own guide.
Frequently asked questions
Are dried coriander and dried cilantro the same entry here?

Can I use these portions for ground coriander?
No. Ground coriander usually refers to the seed spice; match the actual product and its dedicated entry.
Which FODMAP rises at larger dried-leaf portions?
Fructose is elevated at the listed moderate and high amounts. The other displayed groups remain low.
How do I count dried cilantro in a bottled dressing?
A bottled blend needs its own ingredient and portion information. The leaf rating alone cannot establish how much herb or other ingredients are in that product.
