What it is

Coriander powder is made from the dried seeds of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum). The seeds are typically ground into a fine powder before being used as a spice. It has a warm, nutty, and slightly citrusy flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use coriander powder primarily as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. Its warm and aromatic profile makes it a popular ingredient in spice blends, curries, soups, stews, and baked goods. It is especially common in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican cuisines.

Health notes

Coriander powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated coriander and its extracts. While some studies suggest potential health benefits, such as antioxidant properties, these are typically observed at higher concentrations than usually consumed in food. Evidence regarding specific health effects at typical dietary intake levels is limited.

Allergen info

Coriander is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
