F.Y.I.
The tiny, round, yellow-tan seeds of the coriander plant have no flavor resemblance to the plant’s leaves (which are commonly called cilantro). Coriander comes both as whole seeds and ground. Pungently spicy, yet sweet and slightly fruity (like an orange), coriander is a key component in curries and is often used in spice cakes and cookies.
