Ruccola or Roquette originates from South-America and Southern-Europe, where it has been bred for ages. Around 1981, ruccola was introduced in Holland by the company Tubbergen.
In Holland, coriander is usually applied in dishes from foreign origin. In past, this herb used to be populair in the Dutch and Belgian kitchen. Nowadays it is only applied as a component of Belgian lager. Both the leafs and the seeds of coriander are proper for flavouring.
