And Coriander

Coriander is the common name for the seeds of the *Coriandrum sativum* plant, which is native to parts of Europe and North Africa. The seeds are typically dried and can be used whole or ground into a powder. Coriander has a warm, nutty, and slightly citrusy flavor profile.

Coriander is used as a spice to add flavor to a wide variety of foods, including curries, stews, sausages, and baked goods. It is also a key ingredient in many spice blends and rubs. Manufacturers use it to enhance the taste and aroma of savory dishes and sauces.

Coriander is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated coriander, but no specific numeric limits are set for its use as a spice. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical dietary intake levels.
