What to know about coriander
Coriander here means the dried seed, the warm, citrusy spice ground into curry powder, garam masala and pickling blends, not the fresh leaf sold as cilantro. As a spice it is reassuringly low-trigger: low in salicylates, low histamine and low FODMAP, so a normal culinary pinch rarely sets off intolerance symptoms. Its one real flag is elimination diets, where seed spices like coriander are paused during a strict AIP reset.
Watch for
- Not the same as the fresh leaf: cilantro (coriander leaves) is what the soapy-taste and salicylate debates are about, while the dried seed is milder and grades low on salicylates.
- Left out during an AIP elimination phase because it is a seed spice, even though it is otherwise clean, and it is usually one of the earliest reintroductions.
- Whole toasted seeds can feel gritty on a very sensitive gut in quantity, though the low-FODMAP grade means a normal seasoning amount is fine.
