Our collective appreciation for the robust coriander plant predates modern civilization. In ancient Egypt, the flavorsome herb was used to ferment barley and millet flours, while ancient Mediterranean’s were known to use the herb for a variety of medicinal and culinary purposes. Coriander even makes an appearance in the Old Testament, under the pseudonym “gad”. The Romans were also fond of the herb, using it to preserve meat in a mixture of vinegar and crushed coriander seeds. During the Middle Ages, the plant was recommended for cultivation in Charlemagne’s Capitulary.
The ever-favored coriander is an annual plant with soft stems and feathery leaves. Primarily grown in Russia, Hungary and Northern Africa, the plant is known to bloom in the warm month of June. Clusters of white flowers, grouped like umbrellas, produce the equally delightful, oval-shaped coriander seeds popular in many cuisines.
