Coriander Seeds, also known as Dhaniya Seeds, are small, round seeds from the coriander plant, offering a citrusy aroma and a slightly sweet, earthy flavor. At Farm Ayurveda, we provide hand-selected, sun-dried coriander seeds that retain their essential oils, flavor, and medicinal value. These seeds are an essential spice in Indian kitchens and a core component in many Ayurvedic formulations.
Coriander Seeds are known for their cooling, digestive, and detoxifying properties. In Ayurveda, they are often used to balance Pitta and Kapha doshas, making them ideal for herbal teas, spice blends, and healing recipes. These seeds are valued for promoting gut health, reducing inflammation, and improving metabolism.
Coriander is one of the oldest known spices, with evidence of its use dating back over 7,000 years. Ancient Egyptians used it for both culinary and medicinal purposes, and it is even mentioned in Sanskrit texts and the Bible. In Ayurveda, Coriander Seeds have been long praised for their cooling and detoxifying properties, used in traditional decoctions to soothe inflammation and promote digestion.
