Coriander is widely cultivated in INDIA. Coriander seeds are almost spherical, one end being slightly pointed, the other slightly flattened. There are many longitudinal ridges. The color, when dried, is usually brown, but may be green or off white. The seed is generally sold dried and in this state is apt to split into halves. Seeds are sweet and aromatic when ripe. Coriander seed is generally used coarsely ground or more finely powdered, depending on the texture desired. Ground coriander is apt to lose its flavors and aroma quickly and should be stored in an opaque airtight container. Whole seeds keep indefinitely. Their flavor may be enhanced by a light roasting before use. As coriander is a mild spice it is used by the handful, rather than the pinch. The commonest use of coriander seed is in curry powders, where it is the bulkiest constituent. Coriander seeds are considered to be carminative, diuretic, tonic, stomachic, antibilious, refrigerant and aphrodisiac.
