    Coriander Seeds

    Hi All,

    I want to make a Hoegaarden and have most of the ingredients. I made a batch many years ago from a kit, but that had everything supplied. This time round I'm short the Coriander seeds.

    My question is, where do you get these? Before anybody says ..... Bunnings, Gardening Shops, Nurseries, etc....I have considered that . However, I'm concerned that they may have been treated with a fertilizer or something like that.

    Any ideas?

    Worse case I can wait a while as I'm growing Coriander...but....

    Cheers,

    Kev

    How about from the spice section at your local supermarket?

    I think you need to expand your culinary horizons.

    We cook with them all the time. We even have a 50/50 mix of black peppercorns and coriander seeds in the pepper grinder.

    Cheapest source is usually asian grocers.

    I eat all sorts from everywhere....I just don't cook it, so have no idea what's in it....LOL!!!

    So in a Hoegaarden you use the seeds for the citrus flavour....so I'm assuming you get the same with the grinder. Very interesting.

    Cheers,

    Kev.

    I thought the orange peel was for the citrus flavour? Coriander seed flavour is different again.

    Yeah you use orange zest and Coriander seed together....crushed Coriander seed.

    The one and only time I've done this I was scratching my head over the combination until I crushed the seeds...very strong citrus smell.

    So there is a question, maybe it has to be fresh to get this quality....mmmm.

    Not really any such thing as fresh coriander seeds, they dry on the plant very quickly.

    I suppose I don't find the smell/taste particularly citrusy... When I drink Hoegaarden I find distinct citrus and coriander flavours.

    MMM.....now this has got me intrigued....

    As I said, only ever brewed one before and distinctly remember the citrus smell of the crushed seeds. Christ, I've been espousing that memory for years and it may have been the accelerant fertilizer the seeds were coated with....LOL!!!

    Can't wait to give it another go....

    I'll probably free up a keg in the next few weeks, so I'll put it together then and update.

    Cheers,

    Kev.
