Coriander Seeds

Coriandrum sativum L., whole dried fruit; Eagle, Scooter & Parrot types

A word on grade names before anything else: Eagle, Scooter, Single and Double Parrot are Indian trade descriptors with no statutory, ISO or Codex definition behind them. They describe colour and boldness by convention, and conventions differ between exporters, so agree your grade against a sealed reference sample rather than against the name alone. That single step prevents most coriander disputes. On the measurable parameters, moisture is capped at 9%, total ash at 6% and acid-insoluble ash at 1%. The 0.3% minimum volatile oil figure circulating in the trade is a suggested limit rather than a standard, so request a lot-specific assay before you contract to it. Coriander is very light (around 351 kg/m³ loose) so a 20ft takes only about 9 to 10.5 MT in 25 kg bags and freight is volume-driven rather than weight-driven.
