Better season your cucumber salad!

 “A team of researchers at the University of Beira Interior, Portugal, found coriander to be toxic to a broad range of harmful bacteria. In a study published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology, the authors concluded that using coriander oil in foods and in clinical agents could prevent food-borne illnesses and even treat antibiotic-resistant infections.
