Coriander seed

Coriander is indeed one of the oldest herbs and spices known to mankind. The coriander plant produces fruits that contain two seeds, which are dried and used as a spice. The dried coriander seeds are yellowish-brown or tan in colour and have longitudinal ridges.

Coriander seeds possess a warm and subtle flavour, with a gentle hint of citrus. They have an aromatic scent that is soothingly warm, nutty, slightly fruity, and complex. This unique combination of flavours and aromas makes coriander seeds a versatile ingredient in various cuisines.

Coriander seeds are readily available throughout the year, both in whole form and ground into a powder. They can be used in a range of culinary applications, adding depth and complexity to dishes. Whether used in savoury recipes like curries, soups, or marinades, or in sweet dishes like baked goods or desserts, coriander seeds contribute their distinctive flavour and aroma.
