The plant

The coriander plant is an umbelliferous plant and originated in the eastern Mediterranean. It prefers a temperate or tropical climate. The annual plant grows up to one metre tall, its flowers are white. Young coriander leaves look round and wide, the older leaves are finer and have a resemblance to dill. The seeds are harvested about five to six months after sowing. The dried seeds can be used whole or ground.

Indispensable for BBQ

Coriander seeds have numerous applications in the meat product sector. Especially now during the barbecue season, the spice is in demand. On the one hand, the seeds are indispensable in the production of bratwurst and sausages, as they contribute to the characteristic taste profile - for example in our hearty spice preparation Bratwurst/Rostbratwurst OG. On the other hand, they refine many marinades. Especially if you want to give your specialties an Indian touch, coriander is recommended. Often the little flavor bringers are also found in curry mixes and marinades. For example, in our spice blend Curry Powder, which adds an Indian touch to meat, vegetable and rice dishes and also adds flavour to sauces and dressings.
