Description

Coriander powder is a spice obtained by grinding the dried seeds of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum). It has a warm and earthy aroma, with citrus notes that provide a distinctive and light flavor to culinary preparations. It is widely used in cooking to season stews, soups, meats, curries, and spice blends.

Coriander is native to the Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia, but its use has spread throughout the world, especially in Latin American, Indian, Arab, and Southeast Asian cuisine.

Regarding its properties, coriander powder is a good source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Additionally, it is attributed with digestive and antimicrobial benefits, making it an ingredient that is not only tasty but also healthy.

In different regions of Latin America, coriander powder may also be known as ground coriander or simply coriander powder. It is important not to confuse it with fresh cilantro leaves, which have a different flavor and use.
