Morton & Bassett Organic Ground Coriander
What it is
This is a spice made from the dried seeds of the coriander plant, which have been ground into a fine powder. It is a staple in many cuisines around the world. The organic certification means it was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The fine grind ensures it disperses evenly when used in cooking.
How people cook with it

- Soups and stews
- Baked goods
Ground coriander can be added directly to dishes during cooking. It is often toasted briefly in a dry pan to enhance its aroma and flavor before being added to recipes. It pairs well with other spices like cumin, turmeric, and chili powder. It can be used in rubs for meats and vegetables, or stirred into sauces and curries. Its subtle flavor also makes it suitable for incorporating into doughs for bread and pastries.
How it differs from similar foods
Ground coriander offers a more immediate flavor release compared to whole coriander seeds, which need to be crushed or ground just before use to achieve their full potential. The fine texture of the ground spice allows it to dissolve more readily into liquids and batters.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs seeking to add a versatile, aromatic spice to their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the ground coriander in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from heat and direct sunlight. This will help preserve its aromatic qualities and prevent it from becoming stale over time. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use.
