Coriandrum sativum L.
at Rajgurunagar, near Chakan, Pune on December 7, 2009
Location: Gyaneswor, Kathmandu, Nepal
Date: 27 April 2018
Altitude: 4400 ft.
Habit : Cultivated
Nepali Name : धनिया Dhaniyaa
Coriandrum sativum
Coriander, धनिया Apiaceae January 2018 Hamirpur (H.P.) . . Apiaceae (earlier and a.k.a. Umbelliferae) (carrot family) » Coriandrum sativum var. vulgare
kor-ee-AN-drum — from the Greek koris, a bug or gnat; referring to its aroma
sa-TEE-vum — cultivated vul-GAIR-ee — common Distribution: naturalized worldwide, probable origin eastern Mediterranean region
Edible use:
the young shoot and leaves (before flowering) normally used as SPICE in most of the oriental recipes for lending its unique taste and smell, at least in one instance known to me as a VEGETABLE … popular among Maharashtrians as kothimbir vadi. Adding dried fruits (spice – referred to as seeds in common parlance) lend the same taste and smell plus lemony flavour the roots have a deeper, more intense flavour than the leaves and stem
tidbits:
If the plant has flowered the taste becomes increasingly bitter and should not be used in recipes calling for coriander
Quoted from Seasoned Advice <http://cooking.stackexchange.com/what-is-coriander-roo…> … also known as Chinese parsley or, particularly in the Americas, cilantro … should not be confused with Culantro (Eryngium foetidum L.) which is a close relative to coriander
Quoted from Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriander> other variety: var. microcarpum, grown in Russia and Central Europe has smaller fruits (less than 3 mm) and contains more essential oil than the oriental variety var. vulgare (greater than 3 mm), which is cultivated for fruits and leaves.
Quoted from Uni-Graz <http://www.uni-graz.at/%7Ekatzer/engl/Cori_sat.html> . Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) Week: Coriandrum sativum from Delhi: Beautiful leaves and flowers. They are visited by honey bees. Nice Dhania . Apiaceae Week :: Coriandrum sativum:
