Coriander wears two tasty hats—it’s both a spice and an herb! When dressed as an herb, we call it cilantro, a vibrant leafy superstar. Its popularity started with the Romans, who sprinkled its charm across Europe, making it one of the earliest spice adventurers to journey across the Atlantic, arriving in Massachusetts sometime before 1670. Today, kitchens worldwide can’t resist this delightful flavor duo of seeds and leaves!

But here’s a twist: coriander seeds and cilantro leaves have completely different personalities! The ripe seeds greet you with a sweet, woody aroma that’s a little floral, a little peppery, and utterly inviting. Taste-wise, they’re mild, gently sweet, cozy-warm, and they surprise you with a hint of sunny orange peel.

Coriander in the kitchen

You'll find these charming seeds popping up in both savory dishes and sweet recipes. They’re the secret magic in curry powder and countless spice blends. Sprinkle them into meatballs, sausages, or hearty stews for a delicious kick, or let them work wonders in sweet-and-sour pickles, lively chutneys, tangy marinades, and comforting soup stocks. Coriander loves fruity company too—pair it with apples, pears, and plums, whether baked into pies or simmered gently into dreamy compotes!
