Kota: The hub of Coriander
Different qualities of Coriander and Factors that Determine Price
Coriander seeds in India are typically categorized based on several visual and physical characteristics.
Bold/Eagle Quality
These are the largest and most uniform coriander seeds. They have a good, round shape and a vibrant light brown to yellowish-brown color. This grade is highly sought after for direct consumption and fetches a premium price. "Eagle" is a common market term associated with this larger size and quality.
Medium/Scooter Quality
These seeds are of medium size, slightly smaller than the bold variety, but still relatively uniform. The color is typically a light brown. This is a common grade for both direct consumption and grinding, with a moderate price range. "Scooter" is another market term often used for this size.
Small/Split/Powder Quality
This category includes smaller seeds, often with a higher percentage of split or broken seeds. The color might be less uniform. These are primarily used for grinding into coriander powder and are priced lower.
Husk/Dania
This refers to the whole coriander fruit (which contains two seeds). It's less processed than the split seeds and may contain more stems and other plant matter. The price is generally lower than even the small/split quality.
Regardless of size, coriander seeds are also graded based on their cleanliness.
Cleanliness (Sortexed vs. Regular)
Sortex Cleaned
These seeds have undergone mechanical cleaning using advanced color sorting machines to remove impurities like stones, dust, discolored seeds, and other foreign material. They command a higher price due to their superior purity and appearance.
Regular Cleaned
These seeds have been cleaned using basic methods but may still contain some level of impurities. They are priced lower than sortexed seeds.
Uncleaned
These seeds have minimal processing and contain a significant amount of foreign matter, resulting in the lowest price.

Frequently Asked Questions.
The primary harvesting season for coriander in India is during the Rabi (winter-spring) season, typically from February to April. You might also find a smaller Kharif (monsoon) harvest in some regions around October-November. Prices tend to be most competitive and availability highest immediately following the main Rabi harvest (March-May). Planning your procurement during this window can be advantageous.
Indian coriander seeds are commonly graded by size (Bold/Eagle, Medium/Scooter, Small/Split), cleanliness (Sortex Cleaned, Regular Cleaned), and sometimes by the region of origin or specific variety.
