Product Description

Cumin Powder 50grams✔ Cumin is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native to a territory including the Middle East and stretching east to India. Its seeds – each one contained within a fruit, which is dried – are used in the cuisines of many cultures in both whole and ground form. Spice Spotlight: Cumin Seeds From a busy pakora stall in Mumbai, to an Athens gyro taverna, to a Los Angeles taqueria, cumin’s savory pungency has been enjoyed by billions of people for thousands of years. Ancient Rome’s Pliny the Elder described it as the best appetizer of all the condiments, and Egypt’s pharaohs were buried along with it. Cumin is an essential spice to some of the world’s most popular cuisines, especially Indian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Mexican. What is Cumin? Cumin is the seed of the plant Cuminum cyminum—a member of the apiaceae family alongside its cousins parsley, caraway, and fennel (just to name a few.) Cumin is believed to be native first to Egypt’s Nile valley, quickly spreading to the eastern Mediterranean and southwest central Asia. BUY FRESHLY GROUND CUMIN Today it is grown predominantly in India, China, and Mexico. We like our cumin to come from India, where the climate in the northwestern states of Gujarat and Rajasthan produce some of the world’s finest cumin seeds. (India produces and also consumes the most cumin in the world, where it is referred to as jeera.) Cumin plants prefer a warm, moist climate, with sandy, loamy soil, and a long growing season. The plants bear small clusters of white or mauve flowers, from which the seeds pods soon form. The spice—technically a fruit—is ready to harvest when plants begin to wither and the seed pods turn brown. What Does Cumin Taste Like? The first notes of cumin are sharp, zesty, and bitter, similar to fresh parsley or carrot skin. The base notes of cumin are pungent, earthy, and nutty. Cumin is often described as a warming spice, but if you crush a whole seed between your teeth you will also notice a slight menthol quality akin to fennel seed or caraway. Caraway and cumin are often mistaken for one another due to their similar appearance and taste. Cumin’s strong, savory flavor is essential to many of our spice blends, especially our Sweet Curry Powder, Chili Powder, and Shawarma Seasoning. You will also find it present in our Ethiopian Berbere, Adobo Seasoning, and Classic Taco Seasoning. The incredibly savory base flavors of cumin pair well with spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, allspice, clove, fennel, Greek oregano, nutmeg, fenugreek, thyme leaves, coriander, cilantro, sumac, and mint. Some people find cumin’s strong flavor is for the birds, and they’re actually right. Cumin seeds are a popular ingredient in bird seed. Chicken farmers will feed their flock cumin as part of a balanced diet. Europeans in medieval times believed cumin kept poultry from straying from home.
