part used: seed
coriander is considered both an herb and a spice since its seeds are used as a seasoning condiment. Fresh coriander leaves are more commonly known as cilantro and bear a strong resemblance to italian flat leaf parsley. This is not surprising owing to the fact that they belong to the same plant family (umbelliferae).
The fruit of the coriander plant contains two seeds which, when dried, are the parts that are used as the dried spice. When ripe, the seeds are yellowish-brown in color with longitudinal ridges. They have a fragrant flavor that is reminiscent of both citrus peel and sage. Coriander seeds are available in whole or ground powder form.
The name coriander is derived from the greek word koris, which means bug. It may have earned this name because of the "buggy" offensive smell that it has when unripe. The latin name for coriander is coriandrum sativum.
