Coriander Seed

About

Coriander seed has a citrus and balsamic flavor profile echoing the classic mulling-spice combination of orange, cinnamon and clove. It is used as the primary flavor in some cookies, to soften the bitterness of mulled wine, and as a fragrant component in curry powders, pickling spice blends, and gin botanicals; roasting intensifies its flavor further.
