Coriander powder is made from grinding the dried seeds of the coriander and roasting. Coriander powder has a warm, nutty, and slightly citrusy flavor. It’s not spicy, so it’s great for adding a mild, earthy flavor to your dishes. I use it a lot when I’m cooking curries or even just sprinkling some on roasted veggies.
Good for digestion – Coriander powder can actually help with digestion! I sprinkle a little in soups or curries, and it keeps things running smoothly in our house, especially after heavy meals.
Rich in antioxidants – This powder is packed with antioxidants, which are good for fighting off those nasty free radicals in our bodies. Basically, it helps keep our cells healthy, which is always a good thing!
Helps reduce inflammation – It’s said that coriander powder has anti-inflammatory properties. I mean, I’m no doctor, but anything that helps with swelling or joint pain sounds like a win.
Boosts immunity – With three kids around, anything that helps boost our immune systems is a must! Coriander has some vitamins and minerals that can help keep the immune system strong.
Balances blood sugar – I’ve read that coriander can help regulate blood sugar levels. While I’m not dealing with diabetes, it’s nice to know it could help if needed.
Great for skin – Some people say coriander can help with skin issues. I haven’t tried it for that myself, but it’s supposed to help reduce acne and give your skin a glow!
