Frequently Asked Questions About Wild herbs
What is aş otu called in English?
Aş otu is a Turkish regional name for fresh coriander leaves, called cilantro in North American English. Coriander seeds come from the same plant, but they have a different flavor and are used as a separate spice.
Why does aş otu taste like soap to some people?
Aş otu can taste soapy to some people because inherited differences in smell perception make certain leafy-herb aromas seem unpleasant. If it tastes that way to you, parsley or mint can work better in many recipes.
How do you store aş otu?
Store aş otu in the refrigerator with its leaves dry, wrapped loosely in a paper towel inside a container or bag. Excess moisture makes the leaves wilt and spoil sooner, so wash them just before use.
How is aş otu used in cooking?
Aş otu is used fresh in salads, soups, sauces, curries, and bean dishes. Add it near the end of cooking or as a garnish to preserve its bright aroma, since prolonged heat dulls its flavor.
Can you eat aş otu raw?
Yes, aş otu can be eaten raw. Rinse the leaves thoroughly under running water and dry them before adding them to salads, salsa, or a garnish; raw leaves keep their fresh, distinctive flavor.
Can you freeze aş otu?
Yes, you can freeze aş otu, though thawed leaves become soft and are best used in cooked dishes rather than salads. Wash and dry the leaves, chop them, and freeze in small portions for easy use.
Are aş otu leaves and coriander seeds from the same plant?
Yes, aş otu leaves and coriander seeds come from the same plant. The leaves have a fresh, pungent flavor, while the dried seeds taste warmer and more citrus-like, so they are not interchangeable in equal amounts.
What can you use instead of aş otu?
Parsley is the closest mild substitute for aş otu, though it lacks its distinctive flavor. For a fresher, sharper note, try a little mint or a mix of parsley and lime, depending on the recipe.
How do you wash and prepare aş otu?
Separate the aş otu leaves and rinse them under cold running water, checking for grit between the stems. Drain and pat them dry before chopping; keep the tender leaves and remove any tough stems your recipe does not need.
Can you grow aş otu in a pot?
Yes, aş otu grows in a pot with drainage holes, loose soil, and a bright spot. Sow seeds where the plant will grow, keep the soil lightly moist, and harvest leaves regularly before the plant flowers.

What is Wild herbs?
Aş otu is a regional Turkish name for coriander, referring especially to the plant’s leafy herb. In eastern Turkey, it is used fresh or dried in local cooking, including aşotu soup and yogurt-based ayran aşı.
Its flavour is fresh, aromatic and lightly citrus-like, with a distinctive fragrance. Stir it into soups and yogurt-based dishes near the end of cooking, or chop the fresh leaves over a meal.
