Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is an aromatic herb in the Apiaceae family of plants, that is extensively used around the world. Its leaves, stems, and seeds have a recognizable and pungent aroma and are commonly used raw or dried in cooking. Some people may not be comfortable with eating cilantro leaves and find that it tastes like soap. The leaves and stalks are commonly known as ‘dhaniya’ in the Indian subcontinent, and cilantro or Chinese parsley in America and some parts of Europe. Coriander seeds, on the other hand, are small, round brown seeds of the plant that are ground into a powder and used to spice curries and sauces. The whole seeds can also be roasted, pounded, and included in meat rubs and marinades.
