Coriander seed

Coriander (also known as cilantro or ketoembar) is probably familiar to you from Asian and Mexican cuisine, but this plant from the parsley family originally comes from the Middle East and the Mediterranean region. The taste is fresh but dominant – you either love it or hate it. Parsley and coriander are actually related. Sometimes the difference is hard to see with fresh herbs, so it's a matter of smelling or tasting.

Tip! If you're a fan of Thai cuisine, try using coriander root in your curry or stir-fry dish.

Did you know: The taste of coriander seed is completely different from the taste of coriander leaf. They are also used for entirely different dishes.

Recipe: For a special twist to your peppernuts, add some ground coriander seed to your spice mix. The seed is slightly nutty, warm, and spicy. A delicious mix: 1 tsp ground coriander seed, 8 tbsp cinnamon, 2 tbsp nutmeg, 2 tbsp cloves, 1 tbsp ginger, 2 tsp mace, 2 tsp cardamom.
