Does anyone know anything about a plant called cilantro or ciliantro(I have seen it spelled both ways)? I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago all the supermarkets started carrying it and I started seeing recipes for the stuff in the local newspapers, etc. It looks like a weed you'd find in your your and the stores stock it along with the mustard greens, endives, etc. I am wondering if it is good for iguanas, since dandelions are a much-despised weed which are good ig food(and make a darn good salad, too), so I figured, "If it looks like a plain ole weed, it might actually be good for them!" By the way, I tried the kudzu, and my ig loves it! I found out that the nutritional analysis is very similar to alfalfa. It also makes a great stir-fry for people food(yes, I am one of those people who has to try everything my iguana eats, except for the commercial ig food!LOL)
