Coriander powder is a finely ground spice made from dried coriander seeds. It has a light brown to golden color and a mild, warm, slightly sweet flavor with citrusy and nutty notes. The aroma is gentle and earthy, not overpowering, which makes it a versatile base spice in many cuisines.

It is commonly used to enhance flavor without adding heat, blending well with other spices in curries, soups, stews, marinades, and spice mixes. Coriander powder adds depth, balance, and a subtle freshness to dishes rather than dominating the taste.
