Ground Coriander

Ground coriander is made by milling the dried seeds of Coriandrum sativum. It has a warm, gentle aroma with subtle citrus and nutty notes, quite different from the fresh leaves of the same plant. In the kitchen, it works as a versatile spice suitable for marinades, sauces, soups, and roasted meats. It is an essential component of curry blends, ras el hanout, and many other spice mixes. It pairs wonderfully with legumes, vegetables, poultry, and lamb. In baking, it adds an interesting depth of flavor to gingerbread and cookies. Store it in a dark, tightly sealed container, away from heat and moisture.
