Coriender

Coriander seeds (Coriandrum sativum) come from the coriander plant, which belongs to the Apiaceae family. Native to regions of Europe, Africa, and Asia, the plant produces both edible leaves (known as cilantro) and seeds. The seeds are round, light brown, and have a warm, citrusy, and slightly spicy flavor with a hint of sweetness.

Coriander seeds are widely used in cooking, especially in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cuisines. They can be used whole or ground and are commonly added to spice blends, curries, soups, stews, and baked goods. The seeds are a key ingredient in blends like garam masala and curry powder.

In addition to culinary uses, coriander seeds have medicinal properties and are known for aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and having antioxidant effects. They are also used in traditional medicine for treating ailments like indigestion, nausea, and anxiety.
