Used to season savory dishes, such as vegetables and masalas. Add coriander seeds to your favorite pickling brine for a sweeter, citrusy flavor. Toasting coriander seeds will help bring out more of their aromatic flavor. If your recipe calls for cracked or ground coriander, use whole seeds and crack or grind yourself. This will produce the best, freshest coriander taste. Whole coriander can also be a great addition to sweet recipes, like cookies and cakes.
