Coriander Powder

Ground coriander seed from certified organic farms, steam-sterilised, with nothing added. Coriander powder is the highest-volume ground spice in most Indian kitchens, which is exactly why it is a standing target for bulking — husk, straw and spent seed already stripped of their essential oil all get ground in, and none of it is visible once everything is the same beige. Certified organic sourcing with accredited residue testing is the practical defence. Freshness shows in the smell: real coriander powder is citrusy and slightly floral rather than merely dusty, and it fades fast, so buy small and use it within a few months. It is the backbone of most everyday masalas, used in far larger quantity than cumin or turmeric, and it thickens gravies as much as it flavours them. Steam sterilisation avoids the ethylene oxide fumigation still common in conventional spice processing. Pure & Sure tests every harvest against 250+ pesticide residues in NABL and ISO 17025 accredited laboratories.
