Coriander (ground)
Ground coriander weighs 90g per cup — lighter than most ground spices. Made from the seeds of the cilantro plant, with a warm, citrusy, slightly sweet flavor very different from the herb. Essential in Indian (the C in CCT — coriander, cumin, turmeric), Middle Eastern, and Mexican cooking. Bloom in oil at the start of cooking to release fat-soluble aromatics. Whole seeds last much longer than pre-ground; toast and grind as needed for peak flavor.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
