Coriander Powder

About Me.

Coriander powder is made by grinding the dried seeds of the Coriandrum sativum plant, a spice cherished for its mild, warm, and citrusy flavor. One of the oldest known spices, coriander has been used in ancient Egyptian, Roman, and Indian cuisines for thousands of years.

 

Its earthy aroma and subtle sweetness make it a key ingredient in spice blends and countless dishes around the globe.

​

Coriander powder is a kitchen essential in Indian cooking, where it is used in curries, dals, and vegetable preparations. It also plays an important role in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Latin American cuisines.

 

Beyond its culinary charm, coriander is valued in traditional medicine for aiding digestion, boosting immunity, and promoting overall wellness.
