Best Coriander seed for home cooking

What Coriander seed is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.

Why cooks start here

The seed that is not the leaf: warm, lemony, and the other half of cumin in a hundred pastes.

Toast the seeds until they smell like orange peel, then grind. Ground from a jar is fine if it still smells alive. Pair it with cumin more often than not.

A sausage, a curry paste, and a pickle all want this brightness. If a blend tastes flat and only hot, it is missing coriander.
