What it is

Cilantro oil is an essential oil extracted from the seeds and leaves of the cilantro plant (Coriandrum sativum). It is produced through steam distillation or cold pressing of the plant material. The resulting oil has a strong, pungent aroma and flavor characteristic of cilantro.

Why it's used

Cilantro oil is primarily used as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It imparts the distinct taste of cilantro to various products. It is commonly found in salad dressings, sauces, marinades, processed meats, and snack foods.

Health notes

In the United States, cilantro oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels used in food. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated flavorings, and JECFA has evaluated many flavoring substances. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from its use as a food flavoring.

Allergen info

Cilantro oil is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
