Coriander
Coriander is the seed of Coriandrum Sativum plant, native to Central and South America, the Mediterranean, France and Morocco. It is a small, round-shaped seed of brown or bright red colour. It has gentle, sweet, specific taste reminiscent of the taste of the orrange. Some call it Chinese parsley because it looks like parsley. It is used as a seed, grounded or as leaves. Seeds are grounded to emphasize their aroma.
Coriander is added to stews, curries, rice, pillafs, chicken dishes, eggs and cheese. Coriander leaves are added to Moroccan stews and Mexican salsas.
