This question has come up quite a bit, but havent heard an answer as to whether

coriander has chelating properties like cilantro.

I err on the side of caution and sub ground coriander with sage/lemon or other

citrus zest combo. For the seeds, I sub with caraway, fennel, cumin, or

cardamom seeds. Not a fan of caraway, prefer cumin, but I'll sub using whichever

one of these I have in my pantry at the time.

i use both. I have never had any problems as far as I can tell. Personally, I

think the fear of cilantro is taken to an unnecessary extreme. My guess is the

advice should be more like don't use a product containing cilantro that claims

to chelate and don't juice your own cilantro or eat bunches and bunches for

detox purposes.

I guarantee I will be disputed!

At our house, we did notice a difference, and do avoid both of these...elizabeth
