Coriander seed is the dried, ripe fruit from the plant that also produces cilantro leaves. The tannish brown seeds add hints of citrus to both sweet and savory dishes. At McCormick, our carefully sourced coriander seeds are certified organic and non GMO. Valued as much for their aroma as for their flavor, they add warm, lemony notes to European pastries, sweet breads and cakes. This ancient spice is indispensable in cuisines around the globe, including India, the Middle East, Mexico and the Mediterranean. Curries, chili, couscous, roasted and smoked meats, spice blends and pickles are just some of the many dishes where you will find coriander. The seeds are often toasted to enhance corianders distinctive flavor.
