It is good to consume with warm water.

Culinary uses - Add fresh, tender, young cilantro (the leaves of the coriander plant) to salads, and use as a garnish for fish and soups. Cilantro is an essential ingredient of salsa, tomato sauces, and chutneys, and is a staple in Asian, Mexican, South and Central American, and East Indian cuisine.

Try cilantro in your favorite recipes for tuna, crab, salmon, snapper, and shrimp, and enjoy its special piquancy in stir-fry dishes and lamb stews, or with pork, cooked beans, fried rice, and poultry. Cilantro loses its flavor quickly when cooked, so add it just prior to serving.

Coriander seeds are a vital ingredient of curry powder, and all East Indian curry recipes. In India, the seeds are often lightly toasted before grinding to heighten their curry-like flavor. In Middle Eastern cooking, coriander is widely used in meat dishes and stews.

Use coriander seeds, either whole or ground, in pickles, soups, sauces, fruit desserts, such as stewed apples or Prunes, and with all types of meat dishes. Add to mulled wine to impart a warm, summery flavor.

Ground coriander is used commercially to flavor baked goods and processed meats such as Hot Dogs and sausages, while the oil extracted from the seeds is used in the preparation of canned soups, sauces, candy, Chewing Gum, ice cream, liqueurs, gin, and even tobacco products.

Boil the roots, Thai-style, to flavor soups and chicken dishes.

Craft uses - Include fragrant coriander seeds in potpourris and sachets.
.In Asian medicine, coriander is used to treat headaches, colic, ulcers, piles, inflammation, and conjunctivitis. The oil of coriander has also been used to treat neuralgia and rheumatism.

Coriander is a herb widely used in Asian cooking. Especially in curries, kebabs and spicy food.

How much dried Coriander would you substitute for 1 quarter of a cup fresh coriander?

Coriander is an herb that has two primary forms: leaves and fruit. The leaves are typically sold as an herb called cilantro in the United States and the fruit is typically sold as whole coriander seeds or ground coriander. The flavor of the leaves is very different than the flavor of the fruit and I would not recommend substituting one for the other. Cilantro is typically used in Mexican cuisine and Coriander is typically used in Indian cuisine. It is one of the ingredients in garam masala for example. If you can't find fresh cilantro, you could substitute parsley. The flavor would not be the same but it is a better choice than using ground coriander seeds.
