Description

Ground coriander is a spice obtained from the dried and crushed seeds of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum), which is native to the Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. Once ground, these seeds release a warm, slightly citrusy, and earthy aroma, providing a characteristic and refreshing flavor to various culinary preparations.

Ground coriander is widely used in the cuisines of Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, especially in stews, sauces, curries, rubs, and marinades, where it enhances other flavors without overpowering them. In terms of properties, it is rich in antioxidants and contains compounds that may aid digestion and have natural anti-inflammatory effects.

In the Hispanic American world, this ingredient may also be known as ground coriander seeds or simply ground culantro, although the latter term can cause confusion with the plant called culantro (Eryngium foetidum), which is different but has a similar flavor.
