About Spices, coriander seed
Coriander seed is the dried seed of the same plant whose leaves are cilantro — but it tastes nothing like them, offering instead a warm, nutty, gently citrusy flavor. Toasted and ground, it's a foundation of curry powders, garam masala and spice blends across the Middle East, India and Latin America.
Used by the teaspoon it isn't a meaningful calorie source, but the seeds carry antioxidant essential oils, fiber and trace minerals like manganese and iron. Toasting whole seeds before grinding deepens their warm, aromatic character.
Unlike its divisive leaves, coriander seed is almost universally liked — a warm, mellow, slightly sweet spice that rounds out and grounds a blend rather than dominating it.
