Coriander Seed, Certified Organic
About Organic Coriander Seasoning
Organic coriander seasoning has a captivating history deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of ancient civilizations. Its journey begins in the Mediterranean and central Asia, where whole coriander seed was cherished as a culinary and medicinal treasure since 5000 BCE. From the pyramids of Egypt to the streets of Rome, coriander's aromatic allure knew no bounds, traveling along trade routes to influence cuisines worldwide. Its journey across continents has left an indelible mark on global gastronomy, celebrated for its versatility and distinct flavor profile.
In the kitchen, organic coriander seasoning reigns supreme, infusing dishes with a symphony of citrusy, earthy, and subtly sweet notes. Ground coriander lends depth to spice blends and curries, while whole coriander seeds add a delightful crunch and fragrance when toasted or crushed. Fresh coriander leaves, known as cilantro, bring a burst of herbaceous freshness to salads, salsas, and sauces, complementing rich and spicy flavors with their bright zest. From Indian curries to Mexican salsas, the culinary possibilities with organic coriander seasoning are as vast as the civilizations that have cherished it throughout history.
Coriander has a citrusy, nutty flavor and aroma, which is heightened by dry-roasting. Use in breads, stews, soups, pickled vegetables, and condiments. Pairs well with cumin.
