Premium Ground Coriander

What is coriander powder?

\n

Coriander is a herbaceous plant that produces dried fruits resembling peppercorns which, when ground, give us this delicious coriander powder. Coriander is one of the basic ingredients of curry. The coriander I am offering you comes from Russia. If you can find coriander all over the world, I chose this coriander powder for its gustative qualities and its ability to revive your taste buds. It is sometimes called Arabic parsley or Chinese parsley.

What is the flavor of coriander powder?

\n

In seeds, in powder or in leaves, coriander does not always bring the same flavors. The powdered coriander that I offer you has a delicate fragrance and citrus notes that are present without being overpowering. One finds a light bitterness at the end of mouth which comes to bring a little relief to your dishes.

Harvesting coriander powder?

\n

Annual plant, the coriander is a herbaceous plant of the family of Apiaceae (like cumin or dill). Often small in size, it generally reaches between 30 and 60 cm, although some plants can grow up to 1 m. It has fragrant flowers, but it is really its seeds that seduce. Its white or pink-purple flowers give way to fruits that are light ochre in color when ripe. It is when they reach this color that they must be picked. They are then ground to offer you a delicious coriander powder.
