Coriander is the dried seed pods & seeds of the coriander plant. Cilantro is the
immature foliage of same plant. Cumin is a different plant altogether. Like
coriander, both the foliage & the mature seeds are used in various ethnic
cuisines however.
All 3 are herbs, not spices.

Subject: The Cumin Corranider Connection
Thanks to Diane and Andrew for the information on cumin and corriander.
From my spice ignorance, you can tell I grew up in the midwest's "cream of
mushroom soup hot dish tradition".
However, the site www.indianspices.com lists cumin's botanical name as
Cuminum cyminum L. from the family Apiaceae. Johnny's does not list
Corriander either but Cliantro does have the bontanical name of "Coriandrum
sativum".
Is there a chance that "cumin" means something different here and in India?
Mike, you betcha, Miller
