Product Overview

For spice processors, seasoning manufacturers, food producers, and ingredient distributors requiring a versatile whole spice, these coriander seeds provide a dependable raw material for grinding, roasting, blending, and direct culinary use. The seeds are small and nearly spherical, with a pale tan to golden-brown color and a finely ridged outer surface that gives them a dry, slightly textured feel. When crushed or toasted, they release a warm, citrusy aroma with mild nutty and herbal undertones, while the flavor is gently sweet, earthy, and less pungent than many other whole spices. This format is particularly suited to curry powders, masala blends, pickling mixes, marinades, soups, sauces, bakery items, sausages, and ground coriander production. Whole seeds can be roasted before milling to deepen aroma and flavor. For B2B buyers, coriander seeds offer broad formulation versatility, good aroma retention, efficient dry storage, consistent milling behavior, and scalable use across food manufacturing, retail packing, and foodservice applications.Key Features
