Coriander


The fresh leaves of coriander may be added to meats, sauces & salads. They are good added to vegetable stir-fries, soups & poultry dishes.

The seeds are aromatic & lemony in flavour & form an important ingredient of  tomato chutneys & curries. They are a common addition to biscuits & baked goods. Toasting seeds first brings out even more flavour. The seeds, through steam distillation, produce an essential oil that is used commercially for baked goods & meat products. The oil is used in some liquers. The root may be cooked as a vegetable & added to curries.

Coriander is an essential ingredient of many Aisan & Indian recipes & used in many Latin dishes, particularly salsa & ceviche.
