Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is found growing wild across southern Europe and Western Asia. It is also thought to have been cultivated in Greece for thousands of years. It was first brought to the North American British colonies in 1670 and is one of the first spices the early settlers were able to cultivate.
Coriander has been considered a digestive aid for thousands of years. There is evidence of its use for this purpose dating back to 5,000 B.C. There are mentions of coriander in the Old Testament, Sanskrit texts, and even the writings of Hippocrates. The ancient Chinese believed coriander could counteract food poisoning, while the Roman armies used it to preserve meats.
