Herati Coriander, Whole Seed - 1.0oz
Coriander is a must-have in any kitchen with its ability to add a tart, lemon-lime note to any dish. Native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean, coriander use has since spread globally due to its ability to add great flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. Coriander pairs well with spices ranging from cinnamon and nutmeg to cumin and garlic and can be used for seasoning vegetables and meat, marinades, and baked goods.
Rumi’s Afghan coriander is farmed in the Herat region of Afghanistan, where the terroir yields a complex but delicately sweet flavor with hints of pepper and mint along with the classic touch of citrus.
All of our spices are salt-free and packaged by hand to ensure maximum quality and freshness. Packaged in glass - BPA free.

Our Mission
We are a public benefit corporation and are committed to empowering Afghan women and bolstering the country’s economy. Rumi reinvests back into agricultural and manufacturing infrastructure.
Connecting AfghanistanRumi began with a mission to cultivate peace in Afghanistan. Over 80% of the Afghan population is reliant on the rural agricultural economy. The success of the spice industry not only helps farmers and the women providing direct labor, it can touch every member of the village we work in. We have seen output from our existing partners double and triple, while new farmers have asked to join our network.
With hot, dry winds over semi-arid lands, Afghanistan’s growing region is ideal for growing saffron and other artisanal spices. For example, in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, the International Taste and Quality Institute of Brussels awarded Afghan saffron first place out of 30 competing regions. Rumi saffron is tested in accordance with ISO (International Standards Organization) protocol 3632 and surpasses the highest standards for Category 1 saffron by over 25%. Our test results show that our farmers are producing some of the world’s best saffron.

Reviews
United StatesFragrant and fresh whole coriander seeds
Extremely high quality coriander seeds with a wonderful and complex flavor and smell with notes of citrus. Only 1 single ounce though so it will go quickly! Pairs well with Rumi's Fennel seeds as well.
