Introduction

Source your next container of bulk coriander seeds directly from Egypt — available as  Coriander Seed or Coriander Seed Powder, processed to meet your exact specifications for spice blending, distillation, food manufacturing, or extraction.

Egyptian coriander has a history that goes back thousands of years. Coriander remains have been found in ancient Egyptian archaeological sites, including the tomb of King Tutankhamun, while the Ebers Papyrus, dating to around 1550 BC, records its use in ancient Egyptian medicine.

Today, Egyptian coriander is valued for its distinctive flavour and natural aroma and is supplied for spice blends, seasoning production, food manufacturing, and other B2B applications. We source coriander from the Nile Delta and Fayoum and carefully clean and process each lot before shipment. Pesticide residue analysis can be arranged when required according to the destination country’s specifications, including EU-compliant requirements.

Available Forms

Choose the form that best matches your processing requirements:

Whole Coriander Seeds — Culinary & Food Grade: Egyptian coriander seeds with a distinctive mild, citrusy flavour and natural aroma. Suitable for spice grinders, curry and seasoning blenders, food manufacturers, essential oil processors, and flavour houses requiring coriander seeds in bulk. Each lot is cleaned and screened before shipment according to the required specification.

Coriander Seed Powder — milled to your mesh specification and packed close to dispatch, so aroma is not spent in storage. Ships under HS 0909.22 rather than 0909.21 — worth flagging to your customs broker.

Beyond certificates, we rely on our family experience and reputation. Our roots in the herb trade go back to 1960, beginning with our grandfather. We protect that reputation with every shipment and seek lasting relationships with importers.

What Affects Coriander Price:

• Timing of the order relative to the Harvest Season

FAQs

Q1. Who are we? We are a third-generation family business established in 2007, with family roots in the herb trade going back to 1960. We process our products in two facilities: manual processing for delicate products and mechanized sorting and processing.

Q2. What makes Egyptian coriander suitable for food manufacturing?

Egyptian coriander is valued for its distinctive natural aroma and flavour, making it suitable for spice blends, seasonings, sauces, bakery products, prepared foods, and other food manufacturing applications. The appropriate specification depends on the buyer’s intended use and processing requirements.

Q3. Is coriander seed the same as cilantro? Same plant, different part. Cilantro is the fresh leaf in American usage; coriander seed is the dried fruit. They taste nothing alike — the leaf is bright and soapy-citrus, the seed is warm and nutty. Ordering “cilantro” when you mean the seed causes real confusion, so we always specify.

Q4. Do you supply coriander seed powder? Milled coriander is available to your mesh specification, ground close to the shipping date so the aroma is not lost in storage. Note that ground coriander clears customs under HS 0909.22 rather than 0909.21.

Q5. What is the MOQ? One 20′ FCL. Coriander can be consolidated with other spices in the same container if you need less than a full load of one item.

Q6. How can I verify and follow my order before shipment? You can verify your order through a factory visit, video verification, or a third-party inspection (such as SGS) at the buyer’s expense. You can also follow your shipment through our export process. Learn more about our Process

Q7. Do you seek long-term relationships with buyers? Yes. We serve customers across 21 countries spanning the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, the Gulf region, and Australia. We want every first shipment, and every shipment that follows, to strengthen trust and build a lasting partnership.

Q8. Do you supply the local market? No. We supply export markets only.
