Coriander Powder

Coriander is the bulk of most curry powder formulations, which makes its consistency more commercially important than its individual character. Milled to 60 mesh as standard; finer on request, though very fine grinding drives off aroma.

What to fix on the specification

• Mesh: 60 standard. Finer grinding drives off aroma.
• Volatile oil: measured after grinding, not on the seed.
• Total ash and acid-insoluble ash.
• Moisture on the packed lot.
• Grinding date, stated on the certificate.

Coriander is the bulk of most curry powder formulations, so its consistency matters more commercially than its individual character. Grinding and blending mills against the order rather than from stock.
