Coriander seeds

Coriander seeds are the dried seeds of the coriander plant, used as a spice in whole or ground form. They provide fibre, fat and protein, along with minerals including calcium, magnesium and iron. Per 100g, they contain 42g of fibre, 18g of fat, 12g of protein and 709mg of calcium. The supplied nutritional values are drawn from literature sources.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while calcium contributes to the maintenance of bones and teeth. Coriander seeds are generally used in small quantities as a seasoning, so the amount of nutrients they contribute depends on how much is used. Their salt content is low, although spice blends containing coriander may have added salt. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
