Coriander Seed Coriandrum sativum

Coriander is more abundant in antioxidants and minerals like manganese, iron, magnesium and calcium. It is also known as Chinese parsley or cilantro.

More common in dishes such as

• Curries
• Rice dishes
• Soups and stews
• Meat rubs
• Pickled vegetables
• Borodinsky bread: A sourdough rye bread of Russian origin
• Dhana dal: Roasted and crushed coriander seeds, a popular Indian snack

Dry roasting or heating coriander seeds can enhance their taste and aroma. However, ground or powdered seeds lose their flavor quickly, so they’re best enjoyed fresh.
