Coriander Seed (1 Tsp)

Use a smaller amount of coriander seed at one time, especially if it is ground and added to a sweetened dish or drink.

Eat coriander seed as part of a meal containing protein and fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, fish, or a small handful of nuts.

Combine it with high-fiber foods such as lentils, chickpeas, non-starchy vegetables, or leafy greens rather than refined grains or sugary foods.

Avoid taking coriander seed in sweetened tea, sweet sauces, desserts, or alongside juice; choose water or unsweetened beverages instead.

If using coriander in a carbohydrate-containing meal, reduce the portion of rice, bread, or other starches and increase vegetables and protein.

Take a gentle 10–15 minute walk after the meal and monitor your response, since the spike may be driven by other ingredients or portion size rather than coriander itself.
