SPICE & CO Coriander Seeds 40g

Coriander is native to Egypt and the southern Mediterranean and has a fragrant orange scented flavour with traces of mild pepper. Coriander is mild compared with many other spices and therefore forms the basis of many curry powders, masalas and other spice mixes. Coriander seeds are used to flavour cured olives, and as a pickling spice for pearl onions and dill cucumbers.
