Coriander seed and fresh cilantro taste different
The idea
Fresh cilantro and coriander seed come from the same plant, but they do different jobs in the kitchen. The leaves bring a fresh herbal note; the seed has a warmer aroma when used as a spice. A description that says coriander does not always tell you which form is involved.
A practical next step
If you have a strong preference about cilantro, ask about the actual preparation rather than deciding from a spice name alone.
