Coriander plant is also known by the botanical name Coriandrum sativum L. is an annual herb that has tender green leaves and round, tan-colored seeds or fruits. It belongs to the parsley or umbellifers family and famously known as cilantro or dhania. Human civilization has been using coriander as a perennial herb that adds pleasant lemony aromatic taste, and fragrant floral smell in day to day meals. Although coriander can be applied to describe the whole plant: a leaf, stems, fruits/seeds together, but most people refer to its seeds only while speaking of coriander. It can be used for spicing both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals, fast foods or snacks, and also for garnishing salads. Furthermore, because of its preservative traits, it is suitable for pickles and making various chutney and soups. The all-inclusive properties of coriander powder make it an essential ingredient in preparing curry powder and garam masala combined with cumin and other spices to enhance the savory of a meal. The southern states of India, viz., Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and the western and central states, viz., Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh are the highest coriander producing states of the country.

There are two well-known coriander seeds varieties, viz., parrot and eagle coriander, depending upon their respective seed colors, i.e., green and yellowish-brown. The size of the Parrot coriander seed is relatively smaller than the Eagle coriander seed. The coriander plants are soft, hairless herbs grown up to 50 cm tall. Although the whole plant is edible, however, its fresh leaves and dried seeds are mostly considered for cooking purposes across most of the cuisines around the world. There are mainly three variants of coriander that is supplied by the Sky Agri Export. These are dried coriander leaves, coriander seeds, and coriander ground/powder.

The coriander plants that are sowed for its seeds get fully matured, and its dried flowers fall, and seeds start ripping in 3–4 months. The farmworkers harvest the coriander plants by pulling them off the ground using a harvesting machine. The harvested plants are then stacked up on a clean floor and kept under the sun for a week to get dried up. The coriander seeds are separated by shaking the dried plant with hands. The obtained coriander still has some dry leaves, small branches, grass, and plant dust or its broken parts. Hence, hollering the coriander seeds using a huller/husker machine removes the leaves/dust and other wastes. The segregated coriander seeds are processed through the sorting process to obtain the various qualities of coriander seeds based on the purity level. Thereafter, a metal detection procedure is followed for checking the presence of any metal impurities. In the end, the purest coriander seeds are then sent for final packaging or for extracting the coriander powder.
