Coriander
The tan seed of the cilantro plant, coriander has a subtly sweet, lemony flavor. It is native to southern Europe, North Africa, and southwestern Asia. Coriander is a classic addition to Middle Eastern seafood and vegetable recipes; try it in fish stew, falafel, or lentil soup.
Cumin
The spice’s distinctive, earthy flavor is unmistakable in many Middle Eastern staple dishes. Use the ground version, or toast the whole seeds until fragrant before adding to dishes or grinding them. Cumin adds zip to fish and shellfish dishes and to couscous, marinades, and hummus.
Paprika
Made from the ground fruit of a red pepper plant that originated in Central America, paprika can range from mild to fiery. Sweet smoked paprika and hot smoked paprika are both dried slowly over a wood fire for several weeks, which imparts a delicious smoky flavor.
Vivid, golden-orange turmeric comes from a member of the ginger family that’s native to southwest India, and has been used in cooking for hundreds of years. Use ground turmeric to add a slightly pungent bitter flavor to rice, Middle Eastern-style meatballs, and to dishes starring chicken, lamb, or shrimp.
