Green Coriander
Explore Vegetables
Green coriander (Coriandrum sativum), also known globally as cilantro, is a highly aromatic fresh herb heavily utilized for its distinctive flavor profile across international food sectors. Due to its delicate leaf structure and rapid respiration rates after harvest, green coriander is one of the most logistically demanding fresh perishables in global trade. Aba Impex manages this complexity through precise agricultural practices and advanced post-harvest cold-chain workflows. Collected during the cool pre-dawn hours to prevent moisture loss, our coriander is quickly sorted to remove yellowed leaves, weeds, or roots. It then goes through hydro-cooling lines to lower its core temperature. We use specialized, breathable packaging and modified atmosphere solutions to protect the vibrant green leaves and preserve the essential volatile oils that give the herb its signature aroma. This focused approach ensures our coriander arrives fresh and fragrant for global spice markets, retail stores, and food service centers.
