Coriander Seeds

Coriander Seeds are greenish-brown in color and have a strong aroma. The name coriander actually originated from the Greek word Koris meaning bedbug. This plant is considered to be indigenously form Greece but it has become widely used spice in most of the Asian countries. It is also used in many of the Greek dishes and Mexican dishes as a condiment. It also forms an important ingredient in many of the Thai recipes. When these rounded seeds are crushed with a mortar and pestle, they give off a strong sweet smell somewhere between cinnamon, rose, orange, and clove. The leaves of this plant are smooth and the whole plant including the stem as well as the leaves is used in cookery. It is extensively used in curry powders and adds a nice flavor to it. Coriander, like many spices, contains antioxidants, which can delay or prevent the spoilage of food seasoned with this spice.
