McCormick Coriander Seed 11oz 311g
McCormick Coriander Seed comes from the plant Coriandrum sativum, a member of the parsley family and a close relative of cumin, fennel, caraway, and anise. While the fresh leaves of the plant are known as cilantro, coriander seed offers a completely different experience — warm, gently sweet, and citrusy rather than green and sharp.
Whole coriander seeds have a distinctive orange-like, lemony aroma with soft floral notes. When lightly crushed or toasted, the flavor deepens and becomes warmer and slightly nutty. Coriander pairs especially well with cumin, mint, garlic, and citrus, making it a key ingredient in many spice blends and marinades.
This versatile spice is widely used in Mexican, Caribbean, Indian, Middle Eastern, North African, and Latin American cooking. It works beautifully in dry rubs for meats and seafood, in curries and stews, and in pickling blends. Coriander seed is also used in some baked goods and pastries, where its subtle sweetness balances richer flavors.
Packaged as whole seeds, this McCormick Coriander Seeds allows you to control intensity — use whole for gentle background flavor, or crush or grind fresh for a brighter, more pronounced aroma.
Ingredients: Whole Coriander Seed.
