Hi, I let mine go to seed by accident as well. One thing I noticed is many of the seeds had been destroyed by a seed weevil of some kind

This is so funny! I spent time researching this very thing yesterday as my cilantro has gone to seed. I still have time before it dries though. What I need are some recipes!

Hi Tanya–Yes, a great project for kids. I started letting it go to seed by accident, or laziness, and it has been a happy accident!

Alisha–Hey, no fair, that sounds much easier than my way!
You’re making my mouth water with that toasted coriander talk. I’m going to have to get out some Indian recipes, like, now!

i have always harvested mine by just pulling the seeds off the fallen bushes and rubbing as i go. i get almost-stem-free-seeds, so it’s a fairly short process. i LOVE fresh ground coriander! i usually toast it in a pan and grind it in a pepper type grinder as i need it. LOVE IT. i harvested my first batch just yesterday morning. . .

I have coriander in my garden and although I have bought coriander seeds from store I have never thought to let mine go to seed…how weird is that!! It seems quite a long winded process but I may give it a try with the kids…I’m sure they would love the fiddly stuff!!
