Also called Chinese parsley or cilantro, this annual herb is a staple used in dishes across the globe for enhanced flavor. The much-desired linalool, a floral and spicy terpene alcohol, found in the plant gives it its well-known citrusy lime-like taste.
At Herbal Kulen, we take advantage of the pungent seeds with citrus overtones in our gin by using it as one of the key botanicals. The coriander seeds mixed with other botanicals allow for a complex multi-layered flavor in the gin. It is one of the more influential spices in our gin.
Studies show that coriander may lower blood sugar, are rich in immune-boosting antioxidants, and promotes healthy digestion.
