Organic coriander seeds
Origin
Faiyum, Egypt
The Faiyum Oasis is fertile basin of the Western Desert, southwest of Cairo in the Nile River Valley. Its vast Lake Qarun—the third-largest in Egypt—nourishes many crops, including figs, grapes, olives and coriander, an herb prized by ancient Egyptians as a digestive aid and rheumatism reliever (coriander seeds were found in Egyptian tombs). Our coriander is organically grown and harvested two weeks after the seeds of the bright-green, slender-stalked plant turn light brown. The seeds are then dried under the hot sun to develop their lemony flavor and floral sweetness.
Tips for Success
Coriander is a great spice for toasting as it brings out nutty flavors but if you want the fresher citrusy notes to shine you can grind raw.
You can also gently fry this spice in oil until it crackles and serve whole for some texture.
The oils within coriander seeds disperse best in oil.
