Whole Coriander - A World of Aroma in Small Seeds
Forget the green coriander herb that divides opinion - coriander seeds are something else entirely! Whole seeds have a warm, mild, and distinctly citrusy flavor with hints of nuts and orange peel. This is a staple in Indian, Thai, and Mexican kitchens, but did you know it is also a key ingredient in Norwegian sausages? Whole seeds give you full control over texture and flavor, whether you use them whole in brine or crush them fresh.

FAQ
Are coriander seeds the same as fresh cilantro?
No, the taste is completely different. While the herb can be perceived as "soapy" by some, the seeds have a warm citrus flavor that almost everyone likes, even those who hate the fresh herb.
How do I best crush them?
A mortar is best for extracting all the aroma. If you don't have a mortar, you can use an electric coffee grinder (dedicated to spices) or place the seeds in a cloth and crush them with a rolling pin.
Why use whole seeds instead of ground?
Ground coriander loses its volatile oils quickly. Whole seeds retain their flavor for years and give you the opportunity to toast them before use for a much deeper taste experience.
