Il coriandolo (Coriandrum sativum), noto anche come cilantro, suo nome spagnolo, è una delle erbe aromatiche più antiche che si conoscano. Citato nella Bibbia, i suoi semi sono stati ritrovati in tombe egizie e in epoca romana era usato sia come erba medicinale che come condimento. L’uso culinario delle foglie fresche e dei semi essiccati si è poi diffuso in tutto il mondo e ora è molto utilizzato nelle cucine del Messico e dell’America Latina per preparare la tradizionale salsa che accompagna le tortillas, nel Medio Oriente e in alcuni paesi asiatici come la Tailandia e l’India per aromatizzare molte ricette.
“Slim by Chocolate!” the headlines blared. A team of German researchers had found that people on a low-carb diet lost weight 10 percent faster if they ate a chocolate bar every day. It made the front page of Bild, Europe’s largest daily newspaper, just beneath their update about the Germanwings crash. From there, it ricocheted around the internet and beyond, making news in more than 20 countries and half a dozen languages. It was discussed on television news shows. It appeared in glossy print, most recently in the June issue of Shape magazine (“Why You Must Eat Chocolate Daily,” page 128). Not only does chocolate accelerate weight loss, the study found, but it leads to healthier cholesterol levels and overall increased well-being. The Bild story quotes the study’s lead author, Johannes Bohannon, Ph.D., research director of the Institute of Diet and Health: “The best part is you can buy chocolate everywhere.”
