Coriander is the dried seed of an annual herbaceous plant (Coriandrum sativum), belonging to the Apiaceae family. The seeds are small, round to oval in shape, ranging from 3 to 6 mm in diameter. Their color varies from greenish-straw to light brown depending on maturity and processing. Each seed is a tiny reservoir of essential and fatty oils that give coriander its characteristic flavor and aroma.
The taste of coriander is complex and layered — mildly spicy, sweetish-bitter with subtle citrus notes that evoke hints of orange peel or lemon zest. Its aroma is deep, warm, and slightly woody, often described as comforting and earthy.Today, India is the world's largest producer, consumer, and exporter of coriander. The country's diverse agro-climatic zones — especially in the states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh — support extensive coriander cultivation.
