Coriander Seeds can be used to season savory dishes, such as vegetables or masalas. However, these whole seeds can also be a great addition to sweet recipes like cookies and cakes. Add whole coriander seeds to your favorite pickling brine for a sweeter, citrusy pickle flavor. As with all seeds, toasting coriander seeds will bring out more of their aromatic flavor.

How to Use

Flavor sweet and savory dishes with coriander. Season vegetables, marinades, masalas, cookies, and cakes. Add whole coriander seeds to pickling brines, compotes, and chutneys.

About The Spice

Coriander seeds are native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. Coriander is the dried seed or fruit of the Coriandrum sativum plant, which belongs to the parsley family. Cilantro is the leaf of this same plant and surprisingly, its flavor is vastly different from that of coriander.

More Information

If your recipe calls for cracked or ground coriander seeds, use whole coriander seeds and crack or grind it yourself (either spin it quickly in a blender or hammer slightly in a sealable bag). This will produce the best, freshest taste. Try toasting before creating your ground coriander seed blend.
