As Californians devour foods like street tacos, salsa, pho and ramen, they are driving up demand for the fragrant herb commonly found in them: cilantro. The Golden State’s farmers have responded. According to the California Department of Food and Agriculture, the state’s cilantro production has steadily increased in recent years. In 2019, farmers produced 42,340 tons—almost double the 24,101 tons grown in 2006. Want to grow your own? Plant it now. In warmer California climates, planting before spring is best.
