Coriander Microgreen Seeds for Fresh Citrus Flavour
Coriander Microgreen Seeds grow into bright green, aromatic microgreens with the distinctive fresh, citrus-like flavour of mature coriander. Botanically known as Coriandrum sativum, coriander is also widely known as cilantro and is used across Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican and Mediterranean cooking.
Coriander is slower growing than microgreens such as broccoli and radish, but its intense aroma and flavour make it particularly useful for garnishes, salads, tacos, curries, soups, sauces and fresh herb mixes.
Slow-Growing Microgreens with Strong Coriander Flavour
Whole coriander seed benefits from being gently cracked or split before sowing, followed by a 4–8 hour pre-soak. The prepared seed is then sown onto a moist soil or coco-based growing medium and lightly covered during its relatively long germination period.
Germination generally takes approximately 7–10 days, with slower trays sometimes taking up to 14 days. Coriander performs particularly well around 18–21°C and may become slower or less uniform in excessive heat.
Once established, a drainable microgreen grow tray allows the crop to be bottom watered, while a fine medium such as coco fibre helps maintain consistent root-zone moisture.
Coriander microgreens are generally ready to harvest in approximately 21–28 days, once good foliage has developed and the crop has its characteristic fresh coriander aroma and flavour.
Fresh Culinary Microgreens for Garnishes & Cooking
The tender green foliage provides a concentrated coriander character that works particularly well with tacos, curries, noodle dishes, seafood, soups, salads, sauces, salsas and savoury garnishes.
Because coriander has a longer growing period than many common microgreens, good airflow, controlled watering and moderate temperatures are particularly important throughout the crop.
Also Grow as a Full-Size Culinary Herb
Coriander does not have to be harvested at the microgreen stage. Sow less densely in pots or garden beds and allow the plants to mature for fresh leafy coriander. Regular harvesting can provide fresh stems and leaves before the plants eventually flower and set seed.
Grow Coriander for Culinary Seed
Mature plants can also be allowed to flower and develop dry coriander seed. The dried seed has a warm, aromatic flavour quite different from the fresh leaves and is commonly used whole, toasted or ground in curries, spice blends, pickles, marinades and baking.
Seed sold specifically for planting should only be eaten directly when the particular seed lot has also been verified as suitable for food use. Otherwise, use the seed for growing and harvest culinary seed from mature plants.
