Coriander is indigenous to the Mediterranean and the Orient and is related to the parsley family. Although the seeds of this plant go by this name, the plant itself often goes by another name—cilantro. Interestingly enough, coriander and cilantro leaves taste nothing alike. Coriander has a sweet, spicy, woody aroma and a mildly sweet flavor that is reminiscent of oranges and other citrus. Cooking Notes Comes in a 2 oz.
