Coriander contains various chemical compounds, including linalool, which contributes to its fragrance. The essential oil from coriander leaves and seeds contains mixed polyphenols and terpenes, with linalool being the major constituent. The taste of coriander can vary significantly due to genetic factors, with some people perceiving it as soapy or rotten.
Coriander is used extensively in culinary applications, both for its leaves (cilantro) and seeds. Leaves are commonly used in Mexican and Southeast Asian cuisines, while seeds are used in pickling, bread making, and as a spice in various dishes. Coriander seeds are also used in brewing and distilling, particularly for Belgian wheat beers and gin. Additionally, coriander has medicinal properties and is used in traditional medicine for its antibacterial effects.
