Coriander seeds when crushed have a lemony citrus flavor and are nutty, spicy and orange-flavored. The seeds are almost spherical, one end being slightly pointed, the other slightly flattened. There are many longitudinal ridges. The length of the seed is 3 - 5 mm and the colour, when dried, is usually brown, but may be green or off white.
