Coriander: Fresh Essence, Ancient Heritage.

Coriander, or Dhania, is a cherished staple in Indian cuisine and a link to ancient food heritage. Its citrusy, earthy seeds and delicate green leaves have seasoned kitchens from the Mediterranean to Southeast Asia, providing both flavor depth and tempting aroma in curries, chutneys, breads, and spice blends. India is the world's largest producer, harnessing ideal climates across states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Gujarat to yield high-quality seeds during peak harvest months of February to April.

Whether used whole, ground, or as fresh sprigs, coriander supports not just culinary delight but holistic wellness. Traditionally valued for aiding digestion, cleansing the system, and lowering cholesterol, it has also gained modern recognition as a mild diuretic and potent antioxidant. Its versatility stretches from Ayurvedic tonics and refreshing chutneys to garnishing vibrant salads or tempering robust dals.

At Luna Exim, we uphold centuries of trust by sourcing premium coriander from India's leading growers, ensuring every seed is packed with aroma, oil content, and purity. We celebrate coriander as more than just an ingredient—it's a vibrant green bridge between health and flavor.
