Coriander seeds

Description

Coriander seeds are small, round seeds with a smooth brown color and a pleasantly complex aroma that combines citrus notes, a hint of nuttiness, and warm, spicy tones. When crushed or toasted, they release a more intense fragrance, and the flavor is delicate, fresh, and slightly spicy, making it a versatile spice accent. Coriander seeds contain fiber, essential oils, and phenolic compounds, as well as trace amounts of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, iron, and magnesium, which contribute to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as supporting digestion and appetite. In the kitchen, they work well whole or ground in spice blends, curries, marinades, pickles, baked goods, and dishes with legumes; toasting before use enhances the aroma. Store tightly sealed seeds in a cool, dark place, preferably whole, to maintain freshness for about a year.
