Coriander Seed (Coriandrum Sativum) Tincture

Both are liquid extracts of the same Coriandrum sativum seed; only the solvent differs. This tincture uses organic alcohol at 48% by volume with vegetable glycerin and water, the classic conventional method that yields a super-concentrated extract with a long shelf life. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with roughly 60% vegetable glycerin and 40% purified water instead, for those who prefer to avoid alcohol. Choose the tincture for a traditional alcohol-extracted format; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol. The botanical inside is identical.

They come from the same plant but they are different parts. Coriandrum sativum gives us both: in North America, the dried SEED is called "coriander" and the fresh LEAF is called "cilantro." They taste quite different - the seed is warm and citrusy, the leaf is bright and herbaceous - and they even differ chemically, so they are used differently in cooking and are not interchangeable. Our product here is the SEED extract. We also offer a separate Cilantro (leaf) extract, so if you specifically want the leaf, please see that product. We label each by common name and plant part (seed vs leaf) so there is no confusion between coriander seed and cilantro leaf.

Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. It has a warm, aromatic, citrusy spice flavor. Because this is an alcohol tincture, adding it to a little water softens the taste. Do not exceed the suggested serving. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Coriander seed is a common food spice and is generally recognized as safe in food amounts, but a concentrated liquid extract should be kept to food-level amounts and not taken above the suggested serving. One point to know: coriander may lower blood sugar, so if you have diabetes or take blood-sugar-lowering medication, use caution and speak with your practitioner, as your blood sugar could go too low. Coriander is in the carrot family (Apiaceae), so if you are allergic to carrot, celery, cumin or fennel, or have birch or mugwort pollen-food sensitivity, you may react to it. Culinary amounts are considered fine in pregnancy, but it is best to avoid concentrated extracts during pregnancy and nursing, as there is limited safety data. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children. This tincture contains 48% alcohol by volume and should be stored in a cool, dark place. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
