Coriander seed
Coriander seeds are the dried fruits of the cilantro plant. Their warm, citrus-like aroma differs from the green flavor of its leaves.
Caribbean uses
They can season spice mixes, pickles and marinades. In a contemporary Caribbean sauce, a little crushed seed complements orange, cumin or roasted vegetables.
Preparation and storage
Toast briefly in a dry pan until fragrant, not dark, then crush. Store whole seeds sealed and grind only what you need.
