Coriander Seeds

• Coriander seeds are one of those spices that really bring a lot of flavor to the table. They’re actually the dried seeds from the coriander plant, which is also known for its fresh leaves—those are called cilantro. If you’ve ever made a dish that calls for coriander, you might have noticed how it adds a warm, slightly citrusy taste.
• I first got into using coriander seeds when I started experimenting with different spices for my family’s meals. It was like opening a whole new world of flavors! I found out that you can use them whole or ground. Whole seeds are great for roasting or adding to soups and stews where they slowly release their flavor. Ground coriander is perfect for baking or seasoning meats.
• One of my favorite ways to use coriander seeds is in a spice blend for roasting vegetables. It just gives them a unique, earthy flavor that makes them taste extra special. And the smell—oh, it’s just wonderful! When you toast the seeds lightly before using them, it really brings out their aroma and makes your whole kitchen smell amazing.
• Plus, coriander seeds have some health benefits too. They’re known to be good for digestion and can help with blood sugar levels. So, not only do they make your food taste great, but they’re a little boost for your health as well.
