Can you eat seeds from any variety of coriander?
I'm guessing yes, but thought I'd check with you lot

Dunno but you've reminded me of one of my good intentions from past years!

Oddly, coriander hasn't been mentioned

Isn't there a variety for seed and another for leaf?Comment

Cilantro is a name often applied to the leaf as a herb rather than to the seed as a spice. I've not seen any specifically aimed at seed production, I'd expect you can use any variety, but there may be differences.

Some of the varieties are bred so that they are slow/slower to bolt and have bigger leaves so are better for fresh leaves. Mine have always bolted quick even when grown in a shadier spot but you would be able to eat leaf and seed of any variety.

Thanks everyone.
Sorry for my late reply. I'd completely forgotten I'd asked
As my coriander always bolts, I thought I'd make us of the seeds. I use the seeds more in my cooking as well if I'm honest.
Even though the seed I've been sowing look the same the ones you eat, I didn't want to assume.
Scarlet does your coriander end up with small very skinny leaves when it bolts? Almost looks more like dill.
Very pleased I've reminded you about another project VC. I'll just go and add coriander to it now
