What is Young Living's Coriander+

Young Living's Coriander+ is the dietary variant of our pure coriander (Coriandrum sativum) essential oil. Formulated under strict Seed to Seal® quality standards, this essential oil is distilled from coriander seeds, offering a distinctive flavor profile that combines fresh, herbal, and slightly citrus notes with a spicy and sweet touch. It is a versatile aromatic supplement designed to enhance the flavor of a wide range of culinary preparations, from savory dishes to beverages.

Composition and Active Ingredients

Coriander+ essential oil is composed exclusively of coriander seed (Coriandrum sativum) essential oil. The main chemical components that define its aromatic profile and properties are:

• Linalool: The most abundant component, known for its floral and slightly sweet aroma, which contributes to coriander's fresh and spicy note.


• Geranyl acetate: Provides subtle rosy and fruity undertones.


• Gamma-terpinene and alpha-pinene: Contribute to the fresh and somewhat resinous notes.

These compounds work together to create coriander's characteristic aroma and flavor, making it a valued culinary ingredient.

Potential Benefits

Incorporating Coriander+ into your diet or daily routine may offer several benefits related to flavor enhancement and sensory experience:

• Culinary flavor enhancer: Infuses a fresh and exotic flavor into your foods and beverages.


• Distinctive and pleasant aroma: Its aromatic profile can enhance the perception of freshness in your dishes.


• Versatility in cooking: Compatible with a multitude of recipes, from international cuisines to desserts.


• Concentrated alternative to fresh herb: A small amount of oil can replace a large proportion of fresh coriander.

Dosage and Directions for Use

Coriander+ is designed for food use. Due to its concentration, it is recommended to use it sparingly.

Food Use

• In savory dishes: Add 1-2 drops to stews, soups, curries, marinades, salads, sauces (such as guacamole or salad dressings), or vegetable dishes. Pairs well with chicken, fish, and tofu.


• In beverages: Infuse a touch into your green smoothies, fruit juices, or water. Start with one drop per 500 ml and adjust to taste.


• In condiments and sauces: Mix with olive oil and vinegar to create a unique dressing, or incorporate it into your homemade chutneys and pestos.

Usage Tips for Beginners

• Always start with the smallest amount (e.g., the tip of a toothpick dipped in the oil) and add more if necessary, as its flavor is very potent.


• For better dispersion, mix the essential oil with a fatty medium (cooking oil, yogurt, honey) before integrating it into the final preparation.

It is important to always follow safety guidelines for using Plus Series essential oils:

• Keep out of reach of children.
