Coriander is an aromatic herb with both fresh leaves (known as cilantro) and seeds, each offering distinct flavors. The leaves have a fresh, citrusy taste commonly used in salads, salsas, and garnishes, particularly in Mexican, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. The seeds, which are warm, slightly sweet, and citrusy, are used ground or whole in spice blends, curries, and marinades. Coriander is valued for its potential health benefits, including digestive support and antioxidant properties, making it a versatile and essential herb in kitchens worldwide.
