Coriander Seeds (Coriandrum Sativum) – Machine Cleaned & Sortex 99.5% Prime Export Grade

<p>We supply premium export-grade <strong>Coriander Seeds</strong> (<em>Coriandrum sativum</em>), sustainably cultivated across fertile agricultural basins in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Harvested when the spherical schizocarps transition from green to a warm golden-straw hue, gently sun-cured, aspirated, and processed through multi-stage vibrating screens, gravity separators, and optical color sorters (Sortex), our coriander seeds deliver a bright citrus-sweet fragrance with delicate woody-floral undertones. Laboratory-verified for high <strong>linalool</strong> content, our seeds are extensively supplied to craft breweries (Belgian Witbier styles), botanical gin and spirit distilleries, industrial meat and charcuterie processors, curry powder blenders, pickling packers, and retail spice distributors worldwide.</p>

<h3>Key Quality Focus: High Volatile Oil & Linalool Fraction</h3>

<p>In international spice trading, brewing, and essential oil distillation, coriander seed value is determined by spherical grain integrity, low splits/hollow berries, mechanical purity, and volatile aromatic density. The characteristic citrusy-floral note is governed by naturally high <strong>d-linalool (coriandrol)</strong>. Our gentle handling safeguards fragile outer pericarp shells from crushing prior to use, guaranteeing a verified <strong>volatile essential oil yield of min. 0.4% up to 1.0%+ (steam distillation basis)</strong>.</p>
