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.
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.
