Coriander seeds, also known as dhania seeds or seeds of coriander, come from the Coriandrum sativum plant, with the botanical name of coriander or dhania. These small, round seeds have a warm, citrusy flavor and are widely used in cooking across various cuisines, especially in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dishes

All parts of the plant are edible, but the fresh leaves and the dried seeds are the parts most traditionally used in cooking.

Coriander roots are an important element of  Thai cooking. Coriander is used in cuisines throughout the world.
