✦ Vitamin K retained ✦ Iron and calcium traces ✦ Milder than fresh: use more ✦ Better in dry rubs than fresh dishes

Dried coriander leaves have a much more muted flavour than fresh, as the volatile aldehydes responsible for coriander's characteristic scent evaporate during drying. They retain some vitamin K and trace minerals but are a poor substitute for fresh in most applications. They are occasionally used in spice blends and dry rubs where their mild flavour is acceptable.

Preparation note

Use 2-3 times the quantity specified for fresh coriander; add early in cooking. Fresh or frozen coriander is almost always preferable where appearance and aroma matter.

Phytochemicals

Why are some phytochemicals missing? Nutriofia tracks over 50 bioactive plant compounds — including allicin, betanin, glucosinolates, lignans, and polyphenols — but comprehensive measurement data simply doesn't exist yet for most foods. Unlike vitamins and minerals, phytochemical analysis is still an active area of food science research. When a compound doesn't appear here, it means no published measurement exists for this food, not that the food lacks it. We update our database as new data becomes available.
