My girlfriend got this at a Turkish supermarket in Berlin. It's quite spicy and tastes like garden cress or a bit like radish. I looked up cress varieties but couldn't find this particular leaf shape.

4It looks like a variety of watercress to me. – GdD Apr 30 '17 at 16:43

2You're probably right, I was misled by some pictures which looked different. A picture search for watercress shows that some variants look almost exactly like this. – Felix Dombek Apr 30 '17 at 16:48

Gardening might be a better place to ask this. – GdD Apr 30 '17 at 20:14

I think you have Baby Argula or Rocket. Check out this site for Turkish greens. http://www.turkish-cuisine.org/ingredients-7/ingredients-used-in-turkish-cuisine-66/vegetables-69.html

This is coriander, watercress grows on a longer stalk.

1The taste of coriander doesn't match the poster's description. Besides, this looks more like radish than coriander to me. – bli May 02 '17 at 12:57

3Definitely not coriander/cilantro. The leaves are not at all the right shape (they're oval and not lobed), and they're not branching off of long stems. – Cascabel May 02 '17 at 14:15

Agreed with the others. The shape is not remotely close to cilantro and the flavour description doesn't match, either. – LMAshton May 04 '17 at 03:54

1There is a faint similarity to vietnamese and/or sawtooth coriander, but still different - and FAR from "cilantro" coriander. – rackandboneman Jun 13 '17 at 08:17
