European Coriander Seed

NuttyCitrusyHerbal

This seed spice has been cultivated since ancient times and comes from the same plant that gives us cilantro leaves. The mellow flavor is smooth and savory, with creamy citrus top notes. Coriander is best purchased whole and is easy to grind. The whole form can be easily toasted to enhance the flavor. 

Coriander is an integral part of the flavor base in curries, masalas, and mixes from throughout the Middle East, but it also performs well solo. Try it in granola and cereal mixes, or as part of a seasoning crust on fish.

Spice 101

European coriander seed, known botanically as Coriandrum sativum, is a spice that has been cherished since ancient times. Originating from the same plant that gives us cilantro leaves, this spice is celebrated for its mellow yet savory flavor profile, marked by creamy citrus top notes. European coriander seed serves as a fundamental component in numerous spice blends, including curries and masalas across the Middle East. Additionally, it finds its solo performances delightful, whether in granola, cereal mixes, or as a seasoning crust on fish.

Coriander has been a culinary and medicinal staple throughout history, with its use dating back to ancient civilizations. The seeds were found in ruins dating back to 5000 BC and are mentioned in the Old Testament. It was valued both in the ancient Egyptian and Roman cultures, where it was used for its culinary versatility and medicinal properties. In medieval times, it spread across Europe and was one of the first spices to be brought to the Americas by European colonists.

European coriander seed has an understated yet impactful flavor that enhances a wide array of dishes. We regularly use it to add a depth of flavor to our curries and spice blends, but it's equally at home in our breakfast cereals and granola, providing a surprising twist that wakes up the palate.

Did you know that coriander seeds are used in the brewing of certain styles of beer, particularly some Belgian wheat beers? The seeds add a lemony citrus flavor that complements the traditional ingredients of the beer, making it a favorite among craft brewers and beer lovers alike.
