Coriander seed

Coriander seed is a small spice that comes from the coriander plant. It's a tiny, round seed with a warm, citrusy flavour that many people find pleasant. The coriander plant also produces cilantro leaves, which have a different taste altogether.

To produce coriander seeds, the coriander plant is grown and allowed to flower. Once the flowers turn into seeds, they are harvested and dried. The dried seeds are then used whole or ground into a powder, ready to be added to various dishes for flavour.

Coriander seed is commonly used in cooking to add a warm, slightly citrusy flavour to dishes. It is often found in curries, stews, marinades, and pickles. Its aromatic taste can enhance the overall flavour profile of a dish, bringing a unique touch to recipes like Indian curries, Mexican salsas, and Middle Eastern tagines. Next time you're cooking, check the labels – you may be surprised to find coriander seed listed as an ingredient.
