Coriander seeds come from the fruit of a plant related to
parsley. The leaf of this same plant is a popular herb
better known as cilantro.
The taste of coriander resembles a blend of lemon and sage.
It is a common ingredient in curries and a delicious complement
to carrots. Coriander is also used in a variety of sausages
and goes very well with many types of seafood. In northern
Europe, the seeds are sometimes mixed with bread.
Coriander has been cultivated since very ancient times. In
addition to its use as a spice, coriander was employed as an
aromatic stimulant by Hippocrates and other Greek physicians.
The Chinese believed that coriander seeds confer the power of
immortality.
The conquering Romans introduced coriander to Britain. In
modern England, the chief consumption of coriander seeds is in
flavoring alcoholic liquers, for which purpose it is largely
grown in Essex.
We are happy to offer both whole coriander seeds and ground
coriander at excellent prices.
