Coriander seeds in Ayurveda have long held a place in the traditional kitchen and herbal repertoire. Known as Dhanyaka, coriander seeds offer a gentle, aromatic flavour while Ayurveda traditionally values them for supporting comfortable digestion and maintaining balance.
Unlike many strongly heating spices, coriander seeds have a naturally refreshing character. Therefore, they can fit particularly well into meals and preparations designed to support Pitta balance.
Today, coriander often appears mainly as a seasoning. However, traditional Ayurvedic practices have used the seeds in several simple preparations. As a result, this familiar kitchen spice deserves a closer look.
