Coriander is an annual herb of the family Apiaceae, known botanically as Coriandrum sativum — written here in plain prose as Coriandrum sativum. Every part of the plant is edible, though it is the fresh leaves and the dried seeds that kitchens have always relied on most. Lakpura Organic Coriander Whole is the dried seed, left intact rather than ground, sourced from organic growers who work without synthetic fertilisers or pesticides. The seed is processed in small batches and packed in Sri Lanka, so it reaches you whole and ready to be used as it is or ground when you need it.

That means the growing and handling of this coriander has been checked and approved by independent certifiers against organic standards, rather than simply described as organic by us. For you as a buyer, it is a straightforward assurance about how the crop was grown and how the seed was handled on its way to the pack.

Coriander seed can be used whole or ground, which makes it one of the more flexible spices to keep in the cupboard. Whole seeds can be dry-toasted in a pan to bring out their aroma before crushing, or left whole in slow-cooked dishes and pickling liquids. Ground, the seed is a common base for dishes made with pork and lamb, and certain types of rye bread are made with coriander seed in the dough. Like many spices, coriander has long been valued in Sri Lankan kitchens and traditional households, and it sits easily alongside the other seeds and barks in a well-stocked spice drawer.
Lakpura brings the spices of Sri Lanka to your kitchen, grown and packed on the island by people who know them well.
