CORIANDER (Coriander sativum)

Introduction :
Organic coriander generally known as "Dhania" is cultivated for centauries in the tribal belt of Khandamal and Koraput region of Orissa. Coriander is considered both an herb and a spice since both its leaves and seeds are used as seasoning condiment.

Organic coriander was originally introduced from India, to Chinese, Egyptians and then to the Europeans, as an aromatic stimulant and spice. Great Ayurvedic physicians, Hippocrates and other Greek physicians in digestive formularies employed it.

Fresh coriander leaves are more commonly known as cilantro and bear a strong resemblance to Italian flat leaf parsley since they belong to the same plant family Umbelliferae.
