Coriander Seeds, Coriandrum sativum, is also known as coriander seeds, bulk coriander seeds, coriander seed, or coriander. They contain a minimum essential oil content of .3%.

The coriander plant produces both a fruit, known as Coriander Seed, and leaves, known as Cilantro. It is indigenous to the Mediterranean region; the oldest known coriander fruits were discovered in an archaeological dig in the Nahal Hemar cave in Israel, and date back to approximately 7600-6000 BC.

Coriander Seeds are popular with seafood, Middle Eastern, American, and Mexican restaurants; brewpubs; seasoning companies; specialty soda and sparkling water producers; jerky, fermented foods, and pickling manufacturers; breweries; distilleries; and independent spice shops.

We also carry Ground Coriander and Indian Coriander Seeds.
