English Coriander Seed

The earliest harvest yet of our English Coriander Seed.

In 2021, we put out this report in December due to the extremely late harvest. Fast forward a year and we are pleased to report the earliest harvest yet of our English Coriander Seed.

Drought resistant

Coriander is an extremely drought resistant plant and our crop coped well in Sussex’s summer/Saharan conditions this year. It certainly could have done with a drop of rain throughout July/August but it was not affected as badly as other traditional UK rotation crops.

Early Harvest

The seed was harvested on 4th and 5th September – the earliest yet. The majority of the seed did not require drying coming off the field at a moisture content of 9%. However, we did put it all through the dryer to bring some consistency to the seed and it also helps to clean and polish the seed at the same time.

The seed has now been cleaned and is packaged in our UK Warehouse ready to be sold.

The even better news is the record yield!

We would be delighted to hear from you if you feel you may have interest in acquiring a particular quantity as the seed is now being used by a huge number of distilleries including some major brands.
