Used for thousands of years in the Mediterranean and Asia, coriander is now a mainstay in gardens and dinner tables across the world. In the United States, Coriandrum sativum seeds are called coriander, while its leaves are known as cilantro. The seeds may help balance the body and are high in immune-boosting antioxidants.* Traditionally, it was used to support healthy digestion and was often added to beans or other hard to digest dishes due to its carminative qualities. Further, it is well known as a flavoring for liquor, beers, and various soups, sauces, and meats.
