Whole Jeera (Cumin)

Whole Jeera, also known as Cumin, is a spice with an aromatic odor and bitter taste. It is commonly used as a condiment and is an essential ingredient in curry powders, seasonings for breads, cakes, and cheese. Roasting the seeds before adding them to dishes can subdue cumin's bitterness and add a nuttier flavor. Cumin is a rich source of iron, which helps increase hemoglobin levels. In medicine, it is used as a stimulant, carminative, stomachic, and astringent. Cumin seed oil is also used in perfumery and for flavoring liqueurs and cordials.
