Coriander Seeds: Tiny Pods, Big Personality
Coriander seeds are the quiet force behind some of the world’s most flavorful dishes. These beige, round seeds—harvested from the coriander plant—carry a delicate blend of citrusy, nutty, and warm notes that evolve as you toast, grind, or steep them.
Here’s what makes coriander seeds a spice rack essential:
Digestive Benefits: Steeping crushed seeds in warm water is a traditional remedy for bloating and indigestion.
Aromatic Alchemy: When roasted, they release a sweet-spicy fragrance with hints of orange peel and sage.
Flavor Versatility: Used whole in pickles and tadka, or ground into spice blends like garam masala and ras el hanout.
