Description
Botanical Name: Coriandrum sativum
Spicy Pantry Coriander Seeds provide citrusy, floral warmth and subtle crunch to curries, pickles, and spice blends. Whole seeds offer fresher flavor than powder when toasted or ground fresh.
Toast Spicy Pantry coriander seeds for bright, lemony depth in spice blends, curries, and pickling brines – fresher than pre-ground powder.
About the product:
Spicy Pantry Whole Coriander Seeds deliver sweet citrus, floral, and warm notes that bloom beautifully when lightly toasted in oil or dry-roasted. These round seeds are essential for garam masala, curry pastes, and Middle Eastern spice mixes.
Use them whole in pickling brines and rice dishes for subtle texture, or grind fresh for maximum aroma in marinades, rubs, and sauces.
Key benefits:
- Fresh citrus burst: Toasting releases bright lemony oils that elevate entire dishes.
- Dual texture/flavor: Whole seeds add crunch while crushed form blends smoothly into pastes.
- Perfect pairing spice: Complements cumin, turmeric, chilies, and garlic in most savory blends.
- Long-lasting potency: Whole form stays aromatic longer than ground coriander powder.
Suggested uses:
- Toast lightly with cumin seeds for the base of Indian curries, dal, or vegetable masalas.
- Add whole to pickling brines with mustard seeds, garlic, and dill for classic refrigerator pickles.
- Dry-roast and grind fresh into garam masala, berbere, or baharat spice blends.
- Crush and mix with garlic, oil, and chilies for harissa-style pastes or meat rubs.
