A bunch of cilantro typically weighs around 1/4 to 1/2 pound, which is roughly the same weight as a small to medium-sized apple. But, when you break it down, you're looking at around 1/2 to 3/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro - that's about the same amount you'd use in a recipe for salsa or guacamole.
Now, you might be thinking, "That's not a lot of cilantro!" And, you're right, it's not. But, the thing is, fresh herbs like cilantro are all about flavor and aroma, so a little goes a long way. Plus, using fresh cilantro can make all the difference in a dish, like adding a splash of color to a room.
So, what's the magic number when it comes to how much cilantro is in a bunch? Well, it really depends on the source and the quality of the cilantro. Some bunches might be more compact and .dense, while others might be more loose and fluffy. But, on average, you're looking at around 1/2 to 1 cup of fresh cilantro leaves.
