Coriander Seeds, Whole

Coriander seeds (Coriandrum sativum) are small, oval, beige seeds with a musky, peppery aroma and warm citrus undertones. While the fresh leaves of this plant are known as cilantro, the seeds are cherished around the world as a spice.

Used in curries, soups, stews, pickling blends, and braised dishes, coriander adds depth and complexity to both savory and spiced recipes. A staple in Indian cooking, it’s a key ingredient in sambhar and rasam. In the kitchen, coriander pairs beautifully with dill seed for pickling or cracked black pepper in hearty stews.
