Organic coriander from France
Sweet, fruity and slightly orange, our Indian coriander is aromatic. Coriander is an airy, fresh and discreet spice. It must be ground at the last moment to retain all its original flavours.
Note that the coriander seed, or spice, differs somewhat from the coriander leaf, which is also commercially available.
Coriander goes well with basil, cardamom, caraway, lemon, chilli, pepper and turmeric.
Our coriander comes from the Pays du Garnaguès, in the Aube region. Plant lover Sabine, our producer, cultivates this certified organic coriander with passion.

History
Plant & perfume
In the same family as carrots, parsley, fennel, cumin and celery, coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is a plant that produces a spice and an aromatic herb. The fresh leaves give the aromatic herb, the dried fruit the spice. It thrives in temperate regions.
Coriander is a delicate spice. It will happily stand alone in a dish or cold starter, but likes to be combined. Its slightly spicy, citrus and herbal notes can then be combined with its partners. Dry roasting accentuates its fragrance.
Benefits
Cooking and Virtue
Ground coriander is a major ingredient in many spice blends around the world. It can be matched with many dishes, to be used without moderation. Our Indian coriander starts off with citrus notes, and goes wonderfully well with fish and vegetables. Salads will welcome a final sprinkling of coriander.
Coriander is known for its digestive action. It is also a stimulant.
Origins
A long journey
The birthplace of Coriander is uncertain. However, its origins are undoubtedly in the Mediterranean basin. It's a spice that has accompanied people since the dawn of Antiquity. Half a pound of coriander was even found in Tutankhamen's tomb.
