Coriander

"Coriander" is defined as " an aromatic Eurasian herb (Coriandrum sativum), in the parsley family, and is cultivated for its edible fruits, leafy shoots, and roots." The part of the herb most often used for seasoning are the leaves, which are full of flavor and make a good garnish. The ultimate origin of "coriander" comes from Greek koriandron. It then made its way through Latin coriandrum, Old French, and Middle English coriandre, before entering its Modern English form.
