4 Fascinating Facts About Coriander You Didn't Know

  1. Ancient History: Coriander is one of the world's oldest documented herbs, found in ancient Egyptian tombs dating back to 1550 BCE. Sanskrit texts mention it over 7,000 years ago, and it was noted in the Old Testament. So important was this herb that seeds were placed in Egyptian tombs to flavor food in the afterlife.

  2. Genetic Controversy: Perhaps the most divisive herb in culinary history, approximately 4-14% of people possess a genetic variation that makes coriander taste like soap due to their ability to detect specific aldehydes in the leaves. This genetic trait has led to passionate "love it or hate it" debates and even anti-coriander societies across cultures.

  3. Dual-Purpose Plant: While the leaves and seeds come from the same plant, they have completely different flavor profiles and are used distinctly in cooking. The leaves offer citrusy, fresh notes while the seeds have a warm, spicy, almost orange-like flavor—making it one of the few plants where different parts are considered entirely separate spices in world cuisines.

  4. Medicinal Marvel: Throughout history, coriander has been used for surprisingly diverse medical purposes. In ancient Iran, it was used as a sleep aid; in medieval Europe as an aphrodisiac; in Chinese medicine for measles; and in India for digestive issues. Modern research has validated many of these uses, revealing compounds that may help with everything from diabetes management to anxiety reduction and even protection against certain foodborne illnesses.
