CORIANDER SEEDS

Coriander is a spice, consisting of the seeds of a plant native to southern Europe and the Middle East.
Known for millennia in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, fresh coriander leaves (as an aromatic herb) and seeds are used, which are widely used as a spice from Greece to India and the Caribbean.
Dried coriander leaves are rarely used, as they easily lose their aroma.
The coriander plant (also called "Chinese parsley") is native to hot countries and its seeds are used as a spice.
Coriander seeds have an intense and sweet flavor, similar to the flavor of lemon and orange, making it one of the most versatile spices.
In Arabic cuisine, coriander is a key spice, while chopped coriander seeds along with other spices in oriental cuisine are a key ingredient in curry and garam masala.
