Coriander Leaves from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Coriander (Cilantro / Hara Dhania) is instantly recognizable for its light green
feathery leaves and bright, citrus-like aroma. Extremely popular in Latin
American, Asian, and Middle Eastern dishes, our fresh cilantro is grown under
stringent GAP standards, harvested with roots mostly intact to preserve
moisture, and shipped via fast air cargo to ensure maximum turgidity upon
arrival.
Aethon Overseas supplies coriander leaves available as fresh coriander bundles, coriander microgreens, dried coriander leaves. From trial samples to multi-container annual contracts, every lot is cleaned, graded and quality-checked before shipment — with a Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and full export documentation included.
