Organic Coriander Essential Oil

Profile

Coriander, also known as Chinese parsley, belongs to the family Apiaceae. Botanically known as Coriandrum Sativum, it is an annual herb. It has a spicy and earthy scent which compliments the plant. The stems and the leaves of this plant are known as Cilantro in North America. Moreover, it is native to Iran and spreads from southern Europe and northern Africa to southwestern Asia.

The height of this plant is 50 cm and the leaves of Coriander are variable in shape. The flowers are borne in small umbels having white or very pale pink color. Having an exceptional look, the fruit of this amazing plant is globular, dry schizocarp which is 3 mm to 5 mm in diameter.

Coriander is being used since a long time and can be found in so many places that it is difficult to define exactly where this plant is wild and where it recently produced. The plant can be used in two ways, first, for its seeds as a spice and second, as a herb for the flavor of its leaves.

Most of the people believe that the taste of the leaves of Coriander is like tart, lemon/lime but some of them, around 3 percent to 21 percent, say that it tastes like dish soap. The reason why it tastes like a soap is because of a gene which shows some specific aldehydes which are also used for scent in many soaps and detergents.

Coriander is often confused with Cilantro but both of them are from different genus. Cilantro is slightly different in appearance as compared to Coriander and it has a stronger aroma. Many south Asians use Coriander leaves for making chutneys and salads. Not only this, it is also used in many Chinese, Thai, and Burmese dishes. Mexicans use the leaves of Coriander in preparing salsa or guacamole, even for garnishing.

The seeds of Coriander are extensively used in ground form and spice blend form in spice trade. Some people also use roasted seeds as they increase the flavor, aroma and pungency. Both ground Coriander and whole seeds are used widely in the kitchen. The usage of coriander dates back to 5000 BCE. It is also mentioned in the Bible where it is compared to manna, a substance which was miraculously supplied to the Israelites as food. Also, it was discovered in the tombs of pharaohs which shows that it is a sign of eternal love. Thus, if you are looking for a go-to product in order to add a dash of flavor to your meals, Coriander is your friend.
