- Coriander Seed: Roasted
- Coriander Seed: Whole
Coriandrum sativum
Coriander is the dried seed of the cilantro plant but tastes nothing like the herb. It has a sweet, mellow, and warm flavor that has a hint of orange. It has been described as nutty, spicy, and sweetly aromatic.
Coriander is a staple in Indian cuisine. It is added ground or whole to chutneys, pickling spice mixtures, and is frequently used to season chicken and pork.
Coriander should be added late in cooking—just minutes before your dish is completed—since prolonged cooking will cause the flavor to dissipate.
Coriander can help provide flavorful balance between sweet and pungent tastes. Since coriander can be used in great quantity, it comes to the rescue when making homemade spice blends. If you accidentally add too much of a pungent item, you can simply add double the amount of coriander as the opposing spice and regain balance.
