Coriander leaves are an aromatic herb native to France, belonging to the Apiaceae family (like parsley and celery). They are also known as "Arabian parsley" or "Chinese parsley" because of the shape of their leaves, similar to parsley, and their traditional use in these parts of the world. The leaves offer a fresh, slightly minty, and powerful flavor, very different from the seeds, which add a subtle yet distinct touch to your dishes. Besides being rich in vitamin K, coriander is used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and some cosmetics thanks to its essential oil.
Coriander leaves are a versatile ingredient that can be used in many preparations:
Salads and Raw Dishes: Ideal for adding immediate freshness to salads and raw vegetables. Before incorporating into cold dishes, rehydrate the leaves with a little water to release all their flavors.
Soups and Broths: They enhance Asian soups, such as Vietnamese pho or Algerian chorba, where they rehydrate directly in the hot liquid.
Curries and Asian Dishes: A key ingredient in green curries and other Thai preparations, offering a unique aroma to your stews.
Garnishes: Use as a finishing touch on dishes like grilled fish, tacos, or couscous for a burst of freshness.
The history of coriander dates back more than 6,000 years, with traces found in a Neolithic cave in Israel. This herb was also discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt, attesting to its use in antiquity. Its name comes from the Latin "coriandrum," and although its exact origin is uncertain, it is likely native to the Near East and southern Europe. Cultivated worldwide, coriander is an ancient plant, appreciated in many cultures for its aromas and medicinal virtues.
