Coriander is a versatile spice with a bittersweet taste reminiscent of dried orange peel. While it can be used on its own, the spice is more frequently partnered with earthy cumin to form the backbone of savoury blends the world over.
Lilac-scented linalool dominates the flavour profile of coriander, followed by a variety of mildly flavoured terpenes, including pinene, cymene, and limonene, making it a versatile spice for pairing.
