About dried coriander leaf

Cilantro leaf dried and crumbled. The aldehydes responsible for the polarising soapy note are volatile and largely lost in drying, so dried coriander leaf tastes mild and grassy rather than like the fresh herb. The USDA entry is per 100 g of dried leaf.

Also known as dried coriander leaf, dried cilantro, coriander leaf dried

The evidence in depth

Best supported: Insufficient

What each association actually rests on, and the papers behind it. A rating describes the state of the research, not how impressive the food is. How we rate evidence.

Insufficient evidence

Coriander leaf is widely promoted for binding and removing heavy metals from the body. That idea rests on one small unreplicated study and on animal work, human evidence is absent, and the spice’s own contamination record cuts the other way.

Insufficient evidence. Not enough human research to say anything useful yet.

Nutrient values are per 100 g of the USDA reference entry named on this page and vary with variety, growing conditions, storage and preparation.

Source record: Spices, coriander leaf, dried (USDA FoodData Central, FDC ID 170921).

% DV uses the FDA Daily Values for adults and children aged 4 and over. A dash means no Daily Value has been established for that nutrient.

Bioactive compounds

Compounds present in meaningful amounts. Presence is banded rather than quantified, because whole-food levels vary enormously with variety, growing conditions, storage and preparation.

How preparation changes things

Only effects with real support are listed. If a preparation method is missing, it is because nothing dependable is documented — not because it makes no difference.

  • driedReduces volatile aldehydes

    The aldehydes that make fresh cilantro taste soapy to some people are highly volatile and mostly disappear on drying. Dried and fresh coriander leaf are not substitutes for one another in a recipe.

Things to know

Allergies, interactions and intake concerns. Every food gets this section — a reference where everything is uniformly good is not a reference.

  • Worth knowing

    Ground coriander and cilantro powders have a lead contamination record

    Public health testing of imported ground spices has repeatedly found high lead levels in coriander and related powders, sometimes from deliberate adulteration and sometimes from processing equipment. Children are the group at risk, and buying from brands that publish testing is the practical response.

  • Allergy

    Carrot-family allergy

    Coriander allergy is documented including anaphylaxis, and commonly travels with sensitivity to celery, carrot, fennel, anise or mugwort pollen.

  • Worth knowing

    Salmonella risk in dried leafy herbs

    As with other dried leaf herbs, drying does not sterilise, and dried coriander leaf has featured in pathogen recalls. Adding it during cooking rather than after is the simple mitigation.
