Fruit of the coriander plant.
Coriander is used both in curry spice mixtures and as a spice, e.g. for fish, sausages and gingerbread, and in small quantities in the beverage industry for gin and wheat beer. Due to the fatty oil with petroselinic acid, it is also interesting as a renewable raw material for the oleochemical industry.
