Coriander Seeds (White Coriander)

White coriander seeds, also known as cilantro seeds, are the dried fruit of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum). They are a staple in many cuisines and are valued for their unique flavor and aroma.

White coriander seeds are oval-shaped and globular, with many longitudinal ridges on their surface. When dried, they are usually brown, but can also be green, straw-colored, or off-white. Whole seeds look like tiny striped globes, while ground coriander seeds are a light brownish yellow powder that smells sweet and subtly citrusy.
