Coriander

Coriander has a flavour that combines lemon and sage, with a sweet note as an undertone. It’s a cooling spice. The Greeks and Romans thought it to be an aphrodisiac. By the third Century B.C, the Romans knew it was an excellent seasoning for food.

Coriander is native to the Mediterranean area. In India, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Madhya Pradesh are the major producers.
