Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is a plant species commonly used as a spice.This annual herb grows 30-90 cm tall, with a slender, smooth stem that branches out. Lower leaves have stalks and are pinnate, featuring rounded or oval-shaped leaflets with slight lobes. Upper leaves have linear segments that are more deeply divided. The plant produces small, pale mauve to almost white flowers in clusters of five to ten rays. Its seed pods are symmetrical and release seeds as soon as they're ripe. The herb's foliage is a bright, shiny green and hairless.

Coriander is a distinctive herb with a rounded stem bearing multiple branches, typically growing to two feet in length. Its leaves are similar to parsley's but become more jagged as they mature, releasing a characteristic aroma when crushed. The white flowers form round clusters resembling dill. After 2-3 months of growth, the crop is harvested by pulling out the roots, followed by drying and processing to separate the seeds from the plant material.

In Peruvian cuisine, this herb is a staple ingredient used in nearly every dish, but its strong flavor may be unappealing to those unfamiliar with it. The leaves are also commonly used in soups, not only in Peru but also in Egypt. Coriander seeds are typically small and round, measuring 3-5 mm in diameter. Interestingly, the seeds' pungent aroma fades as they dry and becomes more fragrant over time.

Fresh leaves and coriander seeds are fundamental ingredients in various global cuisines, such as Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Mexican, South American, and Thai cooking. In many dishes, fresh leaves are added towards the end of cooking to garnish and add flavor. Coriander seeds, meanwhile, are a key component of Asian and Indian spice blends like garam masala, often combined with cumin and curry powders.
