Harvesting coriander seeds at the right time ensures maximum flavor. Follow these steps for a bountiful and aromatic harvest:
- Wait until the plants turn brown and dry, typically in late summer or early fall.
- Cut the stems when the seeds easily come off with a gentle shake.
- Hang the stems upside down in a paper bag to catch any falling seeds and let them dry for 1-2 weeks.
- Once fully dried, rub the seeds off the stems using your hands.
- Store the seeds in an airtight container away from direct sunlight.
