Coriander is a versatile herb and spice known for its distinctive flavor and aroma. Both the fresh leaves (cilantro) and seeds are widely used in culinary applications. Coriander seeds, with their warm, citrusy, and slightly spicy flavor, are a staple in a variety of global cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and Mediterranean dishes. Aside from their culinary uses, coriander seeds also have several medicinal benefits, making them a valuable spice both in the kitchen and in traditional medicine.
Appearance: Coriander seeds are small, round, and usually light brown or yellowish-brown in color. They have a ridged surface, which is slightly uneven, and a rounded, oval shape.
Taste & Aroma: Coriander seeds have a warm, citrusy, and slightly sweet flavor. When ground, they have a stronger aroma with hints of spice and lemon. The flavor profile is often described as earthy, with subtle floral notes.
Size: The seeds are small, approximately 3-5 mm in diameter. For export, whole coriander seeds are preferred because they maintain their flavor and aroma better over time than ground seeds.
Color: The seeds are typically light brown or yellowish-brown, although their color may vary slightly depending on the variety and harvesting conditions.
Rich in Antioxidants: Coriander seeds contain antioxidants like flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
Digestive Aid: Coriander seeds are known to help alleviate digestive issues, such as bloating, indigestion, and gas, due to their carminative properties.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Coriander seeds have natural anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce pain and swelling in the body.
Detoxification: Coriander seeds may support detoxification by promoting the elimination of toxins from the body, helping with kidney and liver health.
Freshness: Only the best quality, freshly harvested coriander seeds are selected for export. They undergo strict quality control measures to ensure that they are free from contaminants, mold, or damage.
Packaging: Coriander seeds are cleaned, sorted, and packed in moisture-resistant, breathable packaging that helps preserve their freshness, aroma, and flavor during transportation. Packaging is designed to minimize seed damage and ensure the safe delivery of the product.
Storage & Handling: Coriander seeds should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment to preserve their flavor and aroma. For long-distance shipping, the seeds are transported in climate-controlled containers to prevent spoilage.
