Ground Cumin

About

Cumin is a small annual herbaceous plant of the parsley and carrot family that grows best in regions with a sunny climate and some rainfall. Cumin has a strong, spicy, sweet aroma and the taste is rich, slightly bitter and warm. The pungency and taste of cumin are particularly noticeable when it has been ground down into a spice. It has been used in veterinary medicines, and cumin oil used in perfumes. Uses

Because of its strong flavour, ground cumin is popular in cuisines which are generally highly spiced such as many Indian, Middle Eastern, North African and Mexican dishes. Cumin is an essential ingredient in curry powders and masalas. The aroma of cumin is enhanced if the seeds are dry roasted before they are ground. Information
