    The Timeless Taste of Coriander :
    Cultures all over the world have incorporated coriander into a wide range of dishes. Coriander grows wild throughout southern Europe and the Near East. Archaeological findings indicate that coriander was cultivated by the ancient Egyptians. British settlers carried it across the Atlantic, and it was one of the first spices they cultivated in the New World.
    Seeds, Roots, Leaves
    Every part of coriander has use as a seasoning. You know the parsley-like leaves as cilantro, which give their characteristic taste to fresh salsa. They are best used fresh and can be grown in pots or picked up in many grocery stores and ethnic markets.
    The strong-flavored roots are used in Asian dishes. They are often included in soups and in commercially made curry pastes. They are elusive in the US, but sometimes found in Asian markets.
    The round seeds, commonly sold as coriander in the US, are common in pickles and marinades. They can be added whole, crushed or powdered to add flavor to dishes. The taste depends on the preparation and what other flavoring ingredients are used with them. Coriander seeds complement other flavors well, adding an earthy note to curries and emphasizing the bright acidity of citrus. These keep in your pantry for about a year and are part of many seasoning blends from U Simply Season.
    The Backbone of Many a Custom Spice Blend
    It’s unusual to see coriander acting as the star of a dish. But, it’s an integral part of seasoning mixes in spices from around the world. It plays a part in exotic Five Spice blends, and adds musky character to Tunisia’s Tabil. And, no matter what cuisine’s party it is the life of, curry just wouldn’t be the same without coriander. Here are U Simply Season, you will find it in the palettes of a wealth of seasoning blends .
