Coriander essential oil
Description: Coriander is a native of Morocco and grows to about 1 metre in height. The bright green delicate leaves, umbels of lace-like white flowers, are followed by a mass of green (turning brown) round seeds. These seeds are hard and egg-shaped, borne in pairs, which do not separate.
History: The Egyptians used coriander seeds as an aphrodisiac. The Romans and Greeks used the seeds to flavor their wines, and in India the seeds are used in their cooking. Coriander seeds were even found in the tomb of Tutankhamen. The Carmelite order in France used coriander seeds to flavor their 17th century toilet water and it is still used in Chartreuse and Benedictine liqueurs.
