CORIANDER SEEDS
Coriander is an aromatic plant (Coriandrum sativum) in the parsley family. The fresh leaves of the plant are commonly called cilantro or Chinese parsley, and have a strong citrus flavor. The dried seeds are used whole or ground as a spice in European, Asian, Latin, and Indian dishes.
Uses:
The whole seeds are sometimes used in pickling and brining. Coriander seeds are usually toasted and ground before using; otherwise, they can have a tough texture to chew. Ground coriander is used as a spice in dishes like curry and in baked goods.
