Coriander Seed Tea
The seed-like fruits of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum), native to southern Europe, have been used since Biblical times by Egyptians and Hebrews as a purging agent for flatulence, constipation and delayed menstruation; a supportive against intermittent and puerperal fever, apoplexy and palsy. Sugar-coated coriander comfits were once highly prized as an aphrodisiac. Meat was preserved in coriander vinegar.
Both the green feathery leaves and the spherical seeds of cilantro are indispensable in the kitchen. Bunches of cilantro, which looks like flat-leaved parsley are sold in many markets, especially where there is an Asian or Greek community. The seed (coriander) is sold both whole and ground, and is a major ingredient in curry powder.
History
Coriander seed was mentioned in the Bible, where it was likened to manna, but its use goes back much farther in time. The herb was used both in cooking and health in the ancient European cultures, and in South America, India, and China many thousands of years ago. The Romans took it to Britain, where it was much used in Elizabethan times.
Characteristics
The plant grows to a height of 24 inches, with a spread of 9 inches. The bright green leaves are fan-shaped and become more feathery toward the top of the plant. The flowers, which bloom from mid- to late summer, are small and white, formed in umbel-like
Traditionally used to help support indigestion, diarrhea, flatulence, upset stomach, joint pain, inflammation and more.
