Coriander seeds - how to use?
In herbal stores you can find coriander both in the form of powdered and whole seeds. However, it is best to buy her seeds and crush them in a mortar or grind in a spice mill just before adding to the dish: ground coriander very quickly loses its flavor and aroma, and the seeds can be stored for much longer. To bring out their full flavor, you can further roast them on a dry frying pan before use. Freshly chopped coriander seeds can be combined with oriental spices, pepper, garlic and Mediterranean herbs depending on the type of dish.
