Intolerances
- SalicylateHigh
Coriander seed: the dried seed measures 207.18 mg of salicylic acid per kilogram — second of the 112 foods in the survey, above cinnamon, black pepper and turmeric, which all measure four to five times less. The fresh leaf is a different food on this axis entirely. Ground is used more generously than whole.

- OxalatesLow
Coriander seed goes into a curry paste by the teaspoon and into a dry rub by the tablespoon, and that difference decides this axis more than the seed does. Nobody eats a hundred grams of a spice. The level here reflects the portion: the oxalate is concentrated in the jar and negligible on the plate, and both are true at once.
