Description

Try toasting or frying cumin seeds in oil to unleash their full aroma. This will add a burst of flavor as well as a delightful crunch to dishes like soups and vegetables.

Cumin has a warm, earthy flavor and aroma with a bit of both sweetness and bitterness.

Cumin is most commonly used in Latin American, Middle Eastern, North African, and Indian cuisines.

You will often find it in many spice blends like, taco seasoning, garam masala, curry powder, adobos, and Baharat to name a few.

Whole cumin seed should be included early in the recipe. This allows the spice time to release its flavour; adding them to a hot broth or oil will allow the aroma and flavors to disperse into the dish

Storage: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight.
