Picking your own coriander in the Netherlands is a delight—fresh, fragrant, and fun, especially with friends or family. The joy of plucking those vibrant green leaves, their citrusy aroma filling the air, turns a simple outing into a sensory adventure. Back home, the possibilities are endless.

  • Cooking: Toss freshly picked coriander into a zesty mango salsa (diced mango, red onion, lime juice, and chopped coriander) or blend it into a vibrant coriander chutney (with coconut, green chili, and a splash of lemon).
  • Tea: Steep a handful of leaves in hot water for a refreshing coriander tea, perfect for digestion.
  • Cocktail: Muddle coriander with lime and sugar, shake with gin and ice, then top with soda for a herbaceous gin fizz.
  • Decoration: Float coriander flowers in a bowl of water with candles for a simple, aromatic centerpiece.

Whether you’re cooking, sipping, or decorating, coriander brings a touch of freshness to every moment.
