Coriander seed spice

Natively grown all over the world, Coriander seeds have found their way into the cuisines of LatinAmerica, Asia and South Africa. The seeds are made from the dried fruit of the plant, and have a pleasant warm, citrus aroma with a slight spice – totally different to fresh coriander leaves! In their whole form, the seeds are commonly used for brewing certain styles of beer (particularly European styles) along with orange peel to impart a citrus flavour. Coriander seeds are also one of the key botanicals in flavouring Gin! The whole seeds can also be used for pickling and brining to add a citrusy, spicy element. Ground, the spice is usually used in curries and baked goods – after being toasted and ground to soften the spice up. Ground coriander is a spice in Garam Masala used in generous quantities alongside cumin and other regional spices.
