CORIANDER. Spicy with a fresh taste. Description

CORIANDER coriandrum sativum A quick growing herb often described as having a spicy and very fresh taste. Coriander is a member of the parsley family and although grown and treated as an annual it can sometimes last into the second year. A very attractive plant, with slender stems, bright green feathery foliage and carrying small purple, pink or white flowers. The seeds of Coriander have a distinct orangey flavour and are used as a seasoning for roast pork, smoked meat, pate, sauces and cakes. They are also used as an ingredient for a number of beverages. When finely chopped the young leaves sometimes called Cilantro can be added to curries, chutney, salads and sauces. Coriander leaves can be used fresh or dried. The globular, sandy-coloured, ribbed seeds begin to ripen about August and develop a very agreeable aroma. To harvest, the plant should be cut down and the seeds shaken off for use. Coriander will grow on most soils but it does best on a rich, free-draining site but it must have full sun.
