Nandini Coriander

Nandini Coriander is one of those spices you'll reach for constantly. Use it in curries, dals, vegetable dishes, marinades, soups, spice rubs, and roasted vegetables. It also adds surprising depth to baked goods, fruit desserts, and even homemade CCF tea.

Our Nandini Coriander is sold as whole seeds, giving you the freshest possible flavor. Toast the seeds lightly to bring out their nutty, citrusy aroma, then grind them fresh just before cooking for a brightness that pre-ground coriander simply can't match. Use freshly ground coriander spice in curries, dals, marinades, spice blends, roasted vegetables, soups, and even baked goods wherever you want warm, citrusy depth.

Coriander is one of the foundational coriander Indian spices used across South Asian cooking. Its fresh, citrusy flavor balances richer spices like cumin, turmeric, and chilli, adding depth without overpowering a dish. You'll find it in everything from dals and curries to chutneys and vegetable dishes.

The biggest benefit of coriander is its versatility. It adds brightness, warmth, and complexity to both savory and sweet recipes, making it one of the hardest-working spices in your pantry. Freshly harvested coriander is especially aromatic, which means a little goes a long way.

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.
