Both the fresh leaves and dried seeds are edible, widely used in cooking 🌱🍽️. Leaves have a refreshing, lemony flavor 🍋, though 3–21% of people perceive a soapy taste due to genetic variations 🧬. Seeds, often called coriander seeds, are warm, nutty, and citrus-flavored, popular in spice mixes and curries 🌶️.
