What makes our coriander from "Maiergut" so special? It comes from the first harvest of our home-grown coriander from the "Maiergut" in Upper Austria's Innviertel.
In the kitchen, this coriander harmonizes perfectly with fish, meat and Christmas biscuits such as gingerbread and speculoos, as well as with homemade bread. It should also not be missing in soups, stews and curries and gives them a fresh touch.
Coriander is currently in great demand and there are not too many cultivation areas in Austria, especially not in Upper Austria. In doing so, we are taking a further step in terms of sustainability and are also focusing on promoting domestic agriculture and production.
Our coriander tastes pleasantly spicy and smells slightly nutty up to orange-like aromas. Overall, the beads inspire with a sweetish aroma that you can strengthen by briefly roasting. In terms of taste, they have nothing in common with the plant, which convinces even coriander skeptics.
Sowing phase: Coriander is grown from seeds. These are planted in well-drained, moist soil. After sowing, the soil should be kept moist until the seedlings appear, which usually takes about 7-10 days. Thus, the cultivation is always weather-related.
After germination, the growth phase begins. In this phase, the plants develop strong, green shoots and leaves. The coriander plants prefer moderately moist, well-drained soil and a light to half shady location. If the plants are too tight, they should be thinned out to make room for growth.
After about 4-6 weeks, the flowering phase begins. At this stage, inflorescences are formed at the tips of the plants. The flowers can be white or pink and often attract beneficial insects that help with pollination. Although the flowers are pretty to look at, they can also cause the plants to mature faster and produce fewer leaves.
About 2-3 months after sowing, the ripening phase occurs. At this stage, the plants begin to produce their seeds. The leaves slowly turn brown and die as the seeds ripen and turn brown. Once the seeds are ripe, they can be harvested.
