Coriander has been grown on this planet for thousands of years, which makes it one of the oldest spices around. Closely related to Cilantro, a lot of people believe that these two counterparts are the same thing, that is not the case, although they are derived from the same plant (Coriandrum Sativum). Cilantro, the leafy green part of the plant, is often used fresh as a topping in many dishes, whereas Coriander, the dried berry (or seed) of the plant, is ground and used as a spice.
Similarly, the oil is extracted from the grounded and distilled berries of the plant. One small bottle ofĀ CO2 extracted Coriander Essential OilĀ can relieve sore muscles, supplement personal hygiene, and satisfy the aromatherapist within.
