Indian Coriander Seed
This coriander is bright and fresh flavored. We find that the citrus top notes offered up by Indian coriander are much stronger than those found in the European variety. Another distinguishing mark is the seed shape, which is oval instead of round.
Indian coriander shines in curries with authentic depth of flavor. It will also brighten up rubs for chicken and fish. Try Indian Coriander alone or in combination with other spices, but be sure not to overpower its wonderful flavor bouquet.

Spice 101
Indian coriander seed is celebrated for its bright and fresh flavor, significantly more citrusy than the European variety. This distinction is not just in taste but also visible in the physical form—the seeds are oval rather than round. Ideal for deepening the flavors in curries, this spice also works wonders in rubs for chicken and fish, where its subtle yet vibrant notes can truly shine.
Indian coriander seed, or *Coriandrum sativum*, is a spice that has been used for millennia, with its use documented in ancient Sanskrit texts and its seeds found in ruins dating back to 5000 BC. Originating in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, coriander has been a culinary and medicinal staple, traveling through the Silk Road to reach Asia and beyond.
We love Indian coriander for crafting a robust curry or a delicate fish rub. The strong citrus top notes of this spice make it an indispensable part of our spice cabinet and a staple in our kitchens.
Indian coriander is a crucial ingredient in many Indian pickles. It adds a tangy, aromatic flavor that complements the spicy, salty, and sour notes of the preserved vegetables or fruits.
