Coriander
Coriander (ქინძი in Georgian) is a herb that is widely used in Georgian cuisine. It is an annual plant that belongs to the parsley family and is native to regions spanning from southern Europe and northern Africa to southwestern Asia.
Coriander is used both fresh and dried in Georgian cuisine. The dried form is typically in the form of coriander seeds, which are commonly used as a spice. The seeds have a slightly sweet, citrusy flavor and are often used in marinades, stews, and pickling recipes. The fresh leaves of the coriander plant, also known as cilantro, are used as a garnish or in salads, soups, and sauces to add a fresh, citrusy flavor. Coriander is a staple spice in Georgian cuisine and is used in many traditional dishes.
Coriander has several health benefits as well. It is a good source of dietary fiber, iron, and magnesium, and it may help to lower cholesterol levels and improve digestive health.
