Ground Coriander gives a spicy, somewhat nutty and citrus flavor. It can give a zesty pep to many dishes.

∙ 10y agoApparently it tastes pretty neutral to some, mildly bad to others, and terrible to a third group. The third group describes the taste as "soap."
Cilantro is also known as coriander. The word coriander comes from koris, the Greek word for bedbug, because the unripened seeds as well as the leaves are said to smell like bedbugs. We now know that the aroma of cilantro comes from several substances, most of which are modified fragments of fat molecules called aldehydes. The same or similar aldehydes are also found in soaps, lotions, and the bug family of insects.
