coriander seeds
Dried cilantro fruit
Coriander seeds are the dried fruits of the coriander plant, used as a spice.
Despite the name, each "seed" is technically a fruit containing two seeds.
The flavor is warm, citrusy, and slightly sweet—distinct from the fresh leaves (cilantro), which taste sharply herbal.
Coriander seeds appear whole or ground in curries, pickles, and spice blends: Toast the coriander seeds before grinding.
