Cumin Seeds

Cumin seeds are the dried, aromatic fruits of a small, slender, annual herb called Cuminum cyminum. They are yellowish-brown in color, elongated and oval in shape, and 3–6 mm long. The surface of the seeds has five primary ridges and four less distinct secondary ridges, and they are covered in short hairs. Cumin seeds have a bitter taste and a strong, warm flavor and aroma. They are a staple in many cuisines, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African dishes. Use cumin seeds to enhance the flavor of curries, stews, and spice blends. Order fresh cumin seeds from FarmLokal for the best quality and taste.
