Description

Leaves can be eaten both raw and cooked. Coriander is often used to add flavor to salads, soups, and other dishes. However, it is advisable not to consume the leaves in large quantities, as they can have a narcotic effect. Coriander seeds can be cooked. The seeds are used to flavor dishes such as pastries, bread, curry, and alcoholic beverages. Although fresh seeds have an unpleasant smell, dried seeds smell nice. An essential oil can also be made from the seeds, which is used as a seasoning. A powder can be made from the root of coriander, which is then used as a spice.
