Fun Fact

Coriander gets its name from the Greek word koris, which means stink bug. This reference likely comes from the strong aroma given off by the cilantro plant leaves when the leaves become bruised or damaged.

What Is Coriander Oil?

Coriander comes from the Cilantro plant, Coriandrum sativum, which is a fast-growing, aromatic, annual plant with several uses. The green, feather-like leaves are steam distilled to extract Cilantro essential oil, and the small, yellow-brown, oval-shaped seeds are the source of Coriander oil. Once harvested, these seeds are steam distilled and bottled as the cherished Coriander essential oil.

What Essential Oils Blend Well with Coriander Oil?
