Miras coriander Ground

Coriander (not to be confused with green leaf coriander) is native to the area between the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers (formerly known as Mesopotamia). Later, during the Byzantine Empire, it also became known throughout the Eastern Mediterranean regions and in Asian countries.

In the past it was used for medicinal purposes, but later also for seasoning. Its taste resembles a mixture of woody honeysuckle, citrus and black pepper, which is mainly due to the essential oil these seeds contains. The whole seeds are used in dishes such as stews, sauces and soups. In its ground form, it has a wonderfully refreshing taste. Roast the seeds before grinding them to ensure the essential oil aroma is properly released.
