Coriander Whole Eastern is a selection of aromatic coriander seeds with a warm, citrus-nutty profile that adds depth and lightness to dishes at the same time. Unlike fresh leaves, the seeds have a sweeter, spicier character and carry the flavor of sauces, stews, and roasted vegetables exceptionally well. In Indian cuisine, they are a staple of spice blends (garam masala, sambar/rasam powder), in Middle Eastern cuisine they enhance tahini dressings and marinades, in Mexican cuisine they contribute to the aroma of adobo and tacos, and in European cuisine they add elegance to bread, pickles, and homemade sausages. The simplest method to extract the aroma is to briefly toast the seeds in a dry pan until they start to release their oils – after which they can be added whole or ground in a mortar. Freshly crushed coriander pairs wonderfully with cumin, paprika, pepper, garlic, and citrus zest; it works well in curries, dals, cream soups, roasted chicken, fish, and root vegetables. A few crushed seeds thrown into hot oil or ghee at the beginning of cooking will build a deep, "homemade" flavor foundation, and ground just before use will add freshness to sauces and dressings. Eastern ensures the purity and uniform size of the seeds, making the spice predictable in dosing and easy to grind. Store in an airtight container, away from light and moisture – coriander will retain its aroma until the last spoonful, ready to enhance both everyday dishes and those "for guests".
