Whole Coriander Seeds

Agros-98 AD sources and processes whole coriander seeds (Coriandrum sativum) grown in the Varna and Dobrich regions of northeastern Bulgaria. The continental climate and light soils of this area produce seeds with high essential oil content — typically above 0.4 ml/100g — and a balanced aromatic profile prized by both the spice and fragrance industries.

Our whole coriander is cleaned, calibrated, and graded to customer specification. The primary application is the spice trade — whole seeds for seasoning blends, pickling, sausage seasoning, and confectionery — but a significant share supplies essential oil distillers who require consistent oil yield and low foreign matter.

We supply both machine-cleaned and hand-sorted grades. Colour, size uniformity, and moisture are controlled per batch and supported by a full Certificate of Analysis issued with every shipment.

Coriander Splits

Coriander splits are produced by mechanically splitting whole seeds along their natural equatorial seam, separating the two cotyledons. This significantly increases the surface area exposed, releasing flavour and essential oil faster during cooking, infusion, or industrial processing.

Splits are particularly valued by spice blend manufacturers, marinades producers, and pickle brine operations where rapid flavour release is more important than whole-seed visual presentation. The split ratio is maintained at a minimum of 95%, ensuring a consistently broken product rather than a mixture of whole and split seeds.

Foreign matter tolerance is tighter for splits than for whole — max 0.3% — because any residual husks or foreign particles are more conspicuous in a split product. All material is sourced from the same Bulgarian-grown coriander crop as our whole seeds.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Whole seeds are cleaned and calibrated intact seeds suited for seasoning blends, pickling, and baking where visual presentation matters. Splits are mechanically halved (min 95% split ratio), releasing flavour faster — preferred for industrial processing, marinades, and applications where rapid infusion is needed.
Yes. Food-grade is cleaned to a higher purity standard with lower foreign matter tolerance. Distillation-grade may allow slightly higher admixture. Please specify the intended use when enquiring so we can quote the appropriate grade.
Our MOQ is one 20-foot container. Smaller trial quantities (1–5 MT) can be arranged for new customers subject to availability. Contact our sales team to discuss.
Yes — whole seeds can be calibrated to specific sieve mesh sizes. Please state your sieve requirement (e.g., 1.6 mm, 1.8 mm round hole) at the enquiry stage and we will confirm availability and any applicable premium.
We do not currently hold organic certification for coriander. All material is conventional and traceable to source farms in the Varna and Dobrich regions.
