Which commercial coriander varieties does JM Masala supply?

We supply Eagle Quality (standard export grade with clean aroma), Scooter Quality (green-golden bold seeds), and Parrot Quality (premium bright green selected seeds).

Why does coriander load less weight in a 20ft container?

Whole coriander seeds have hollow globular structures and low bulk density (~300–350 g/L), resulting in container stuffing of approximately 6.5 to 7.5 MT per 20ft FCL.

Can JM Masala supply coriander split (Dhania Dal)?

Yes. We process roasted and unroasted coriander splits (Dhania Dal) used as traditional mouth fresheners and seasoning ingredients.

What lab parameters and certifications accompany shipments?

Consignments are provided with NABL-accredited COA verifying volatile oil, moisture, split percentage, pesticide residue screening, and Phytosanitary certification.

Geographic Sourcing

Coriander Seeds from Gujarat, India

JM Masala operates from Unjha, Gujarat, and sources coriander through established Gujarat trade networks. Unjha is globally recognized as one of India's foremost trading and processing hubs for seed spices.

Our sourcing radius covers prime agricultural belts across Northern Gujarat (including Unjha and Saurashtra / Gondal mandis) and the adjacent coriander tracts of Southeast Rajasthan (including Kota and Ramganj Mandi, India's largest physical market for coriander). Procurement during peak arrival months (March to May) ensures fresh-crop lots with optimal aroma and natural color retention.

Operating in proximity to agricultural mandis allows daily lot-by-lot inspection of raw crop arrivals, enabling our team to select batches matching buyer requirements before processing.

Processing Infrastructure

How JM Masala Sources, Cleans & Sorts Coriander Seeds

Raw coriander from mandi yards contains field gravel, dust, stems, and immature grains. JM Masala applies a rigorous mechanical and optical cleaning sequence to achieve export specifications.

Gujarat & Mandi Sourcing

JM Masala operates from Unjha, Gujarat, and procures coriander directly through agricultural trade networks in Northern Gujarat (Unjha, Gondal) and Southeast Rajasthan (Kota, Ramganj Mandi) during peak winter-spring harvest arrivals.

Lot Selection & Quality Screening

Every candidate mandi lot undergoes initial moisture testing (<10%), aroma profiling, seed size calibration, and preliminary split count analysis before transfer to the processing facility.

Mechanical Cleaning & Aspiration

Raw seeds pass through multi-deck vibratory screens and high-velocity air aspirators to separate light hollow husks, straw, dust, immature seeds, and field chaff.

Gravity Destoning & Metal Detection

Gravity separators eliminate field stones, mud lumps, and gravel matching the seed diameter. Industrial inline rare-earth magnets and metal detectors ensure zero ferrous contamination.

Sortex Optical Color Sorting

High-resolution digital optical sorters inspect each seed individually, using high-speed compressed air jets to eject grey, black, shrivelled, or discolored grains for uniform appearance.

Quality Inspection & NABL Lab Testing

Finished lots are sampled and tested at NABL-accredited laboratories for volatile essential oil, physical purity, moisture, Salmonella, E. coli, and destination-specific pesticide residue limits.

Export Packing & Humidity Protection

Seeds are packaged in food-grade 20kg/25kg woven PP bags with inner polyethylene liners or multi-wall Kraft paper sacks with container-level desiccants to prevent moisture transit condensation.

Export Documentation & Port Dispatch

Consignments are stuffed into sealed 20ft or 40ft ocean containers and dispatched via highway to Mundra Port or Pipavav Port, accompanied by complete Phytosanitary, Origin, and shipping documentation.

Quality Attributes

Coriander Seeds Quality Parameters

Quality compliance for international trade requires disciplined control across five fundamental physical and chemical parameters:

Purity

Calibrated from 98.0% (standard machine-cleaned) up to 99.5% and 99.9% (Sortex optical). We measure purity by gravimetric separation to verify freedom from foreign matter.

Moisture

Controlled between 8.0% and 10.0%. Maintaining moisture below 10% prevents mold formation and mycotoxins during ocean voyage, while avoiding overly dry brittle husks.

Splits (Dhania Dal)

Whole coriander consists of two cremocarps. We control split count to <2.0% for premium grades and <5.0% for standard lots, ensuring uniform seed appearance.

Color Integrity

Naturally green, golden-yellow, or light brown according to variety. Lots are sorted strictly by optical color cameras without synthetic colorants or chemical polishing.

Foreign Matter

Restricted to maximum 1.0% in machine cleaned, and <0.2% in Sortex grades. Stones, mud balls, and metallic particles are fully removed through gravity and magnetic stages.

Logistics & Packaging

Coriander Seeds Export Packing & Container Loading

Whole coriander seeds have a hollow globular structure with an average bulk density of ~320 to 380 g/L, which is considerably lighter than cumin seeds (~480 to 520 g/L). Consequently, container stuffing weights reflect volumetric capacity:

20ft FCL Container: 6.5 to 7.5 Metric Tons loose stuffed (~325 to 375 bags of 20kg).
40ft FCL Container: 14.0 to 16.0 Metric Tons loose stuffed.
Palletized Shipments: ~6.0 MT in 20ft / ~12.0–13.0 MT in 40ft (shrink-wrapped on fumigated wooden or plastic pallets).
Mixed Containers: Option to consolidate Coriander with Cumin, Fennel, Fenugreek, and Mustard seeds under a single bill of lading.
