Coriander

Coriander

Coriander is a medicinal plant in the family Apiaceae. All parts of this plant are edible but fresh leaves and dried seeds (as a spice) are the parts traditionally used for cooking. Medically, it is one of the most important plants in indigenous medicine. Also in Sinhala, this is called Koththamalli. Coriander leaves are widely perceived as having a bitter, lemon/lime flavor, but about a quarter of those surveyed have found that the leaves taste like dish soap. Nowadays coriander seeds have become a very popular drink. This is because, with the advent of the coronavirus, it became more popular when indigenous medicine approved that coriander helps protect against it.

Coriander, popularly known as dhania in India, is used in many dishes in various countries. It is also popular in Mexico and the southwestern regions of the United States. The fresh leaves are an ingredient in many foods, such as chutneys and salads, salsa, guacamole, and as a widely used garnish for soup, fish, and meat. Fresh leaves are at the top of many dishes, and seeds and ground powder (masala) are also used in cooking. The leaves are often used raw and the heat is added to the dish before serving as its flavor rapidly diminishes.

Coriander seeds are light brown and brown. When the plant turns brown, its leaves begin to wither and fall off. Immature seeds are light green in color and have a slightly bitter taste. Apart from being a popular spice in the kitchen, coriander seeds are also known for their medicinal properties. Coriander seed is a spice in garam masala and Indian curries which often employ the ground fruits in generous amounts together with cumin, acting as a thickener in a mixture called Dhana jeera. Ayurveda is often recommended for gastrointestinal ailments as it is known to ease digestion. It is truly a super seed and there are various health benefits to using it regularly.
