FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do coriander seeds last?
Whole coriander seeds can last up to a year if stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Once ground, the flavor degrades quickly, usually within 6 months.
Can I freeze coriander seeds?
Yes, you can freeze them in an airtight bag to preserve their volatile oils for longer, though it is generally not necessary if kept in a cool pantry.
How do I pick high-quality coriander seeds?
Look for seeds that are round, firm, and light brown or yellowish-brown. Avoid seeds that look shriveled or have a greyish tint, and ensure they have a strong citrusy aroma.
What is the best substitute for coriander seeds?
Cumin seeds are the most common substitute, though they have a more earthy flavor. Caraway seeds or a mix of cumin and fennel can also work in certain recipes.
Should I wash coriander seeds before using?
No, washing is not recommended as it introduces moisture. Instead, dry roasting them in a pan will clean off any surface dust and release their aromatic oils.
Are coriander seeds and cilantro the same thing?
They come from the same plant (Coriandrum sativum), but 'coriander seeds' refers to the dried fruit/spice, while 'cilantro' refers to the fresh green leaves. They have very different flavors.
What are the common culinary uses for coriander seeds?
They are a staple in curry powders, garam masala, sausages, pickling spice blends, and Belgian-style wheat beers.
Do coriander seeds help with digestion?
Yes, they are traditionally used in many cultures to relieve digestive upset, gas, and bloating due to their carminative properties.
