# coriander

noun

«coriander» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

It is the plant that the manna, the food from heaven in the desert, is compared to, because of its small round shape and whitish color.

**Interpretation.** The comparison hints that the manna was small and plain to look at but tasted of whatever the eater wished, as the rabbis taught.

### Meaning

A plant whose small round seeds and leaves are used to flavor food. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/coriander/#m1)
