Coriander seeds

Low histamine

Coriander seeds are low in histamine and a well-tolerated spice in both whole and ground form.

Coriander seeds are dried and used as a spice — no fermentation involved, and no significant histamine content.

  • Different from the fresh herb — coriander seeds and fresh coriander leaves come from the same plant but taste quite different; both are considered low histamine

  • Ground vs whole — freshly ground coriander seeds tend to have the best flavor; there's no meaningful difference in histamine between whole and pre-ground forms

A reliable, flavorful spice that works well in spice blends, marinades, and roasted dishes.
