No, those "pods" _are_ the seeds. Two to each tiny ball; like all umbelliferae, coriander seeds, too, come in pairs. Umm, no. Coriander *is* in the Umbelliferae family because of its umbrella-like flower/seed arrangement. So are parsley, carrot, celery, and geranium. The round ball is the dried fruit of the plant, and contains two seeds. Heh. Both Pelargonium and Geranium are in the Geraniaceae. Please show me an umbellifer that doesn't have paired seeds; there might be lots, but I haven't seen one yet. The coriander ball is just two seeds, stuck together.
