Trivia
[Hardcore] Japanese cilantro-haters sometimes beware of 'Coriander Powder', but seeds have absolutely zero stinkbug-like odor unique to leaves, only floral refreshing aroma. The most consumed spice forming the 'foundation' of spice curries.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] While other spices (cumin etc.) are measured in tsps, toss coriander in massively by the 'tbsp', using it boldly as the very base of curry sauce (thickness)!
