Ground Coriander

Ground coriander is a fragrant spice made from the dried seeds of the coriander plant, which is also known as cilantro in its leafy form. It has a warm, nutty, and citrusy flavor with subtle hints of sweetness, making it a versatile addition to both savory and sweet dishes. Ground coriander is commonly used in cuisines around the world, including Indian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and Mediterranean recipes. Its mild, aromatic quality enhances curries, stews, soups, marinades, baked goods, and even spice rubs for meats and vegetables. The spice pairs well with cumin, cinnamon, and ginger, lending depth and brightness to a wide variety of dishes. Whether you’re preparing a hearty chili, a refreshing salad, or a flavorful spice blend, ground coriander brings a unique and inviting taste to your culinary creations.

Ground coriander is typically found in the spice aisle of most grocery stores, where it is shelved alongside other common spices such as cumin, paprika, and turmeric. Look for small glass or plastic jars, often labeled "ground coriander" or simply "coriander." The spice section is usually located near the baking supplies or condiments, depending on the store layout. In some larger supermarkets, you’ll also find ground coriander in the international or ethnic foods section, especially in aisles dedicated to Indian, Middle Eastern, or Latin cuisines. If you’re shopping in a specialty store or an international market, ground coriander may be available in bulk bins or larger bags. Always check the label to ensure you’re purchasing ground coriander and not whole coriander seeds, as the two are sometimes stocked close together.
