coriander 101


Originally from the Middle East, coriander was first introduced to Europe by the Romans, who used it to preserve meats and season their food. Coriander seeds taste a little like oranges, while coriander leaves have quite a different taste, some say like licorice. Used as a fesh herb, many people find that coriander tastes like soap. Coriander is widely used in Thai and Indian food, two of my favourite cuisines.
