Coriander is one of the oldest herbs and spices on record. Small, round, wheat-coloured seed with a highly aromatic flavour and an aroma that is warm, Coriander is nutty and spicy with some citrus notes. Coriander is one of the essential spices in Indian garam masala and along with cumin, coriander forms one of the cornerstone spices in Indian cooking. Coriander seed is an important ingredient in the generic pickling spice used to preserve and is also used in brines for curing meats.
