These Coriander Seeds are actually the small dried fruit of the coriander herb. Coriander is described as a spice with a warm, nutty, citrusy flavour. Roasting or heating the seeds in a pan will heighten the flavour and pungency. Coriander is a spice used commonly in garam masala and other India curries, as well as in pickling spice recipes and sausages.
Ingredients: Coriander Seeds
Enjoy Me...
- As a spice, coriander is frequently found in Indian cuisine in masalas (spice mixes) and curries, as well as in Mexican and Latin American cuisine. It is often paired with cumin, and makes a great ingredient in spice rubs, adding a bright flavoou.
- It also goes well in a marinade for tofu with lemon zest, garlic and honey served with jasmine brown rice.
How Interesting...
- The coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum) produces both the herb cilantro and the spice coriander. A member of the parsley family, coriander comes from the Mediterranean and Middle East, and also has a long tradition of use in Asia.
- Besides food, coriander has been used medicinally for thousands of years to treat everything from upset stomach and various digestive issues, to joint pain, toothaches, measles and even hemorrhoids. A stimulant, it is believed to increase milk flow in breast-feeding women, and in traditional Indian medicine it is considered a diuretic. The essential oil extracted from coriander has been shown to have antimicrobial effects, explaining the long-held belief that coriander helps prevent food spoilage.
