Cumin

Cumin Seeds have a warm, earthy, nutty flavour with a hint of citrus. They are a staple ingredient in Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, African, and Mediterranean cuisines, adding rich aroma and depth to a wide variety of dishes.

Store whole cumin seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Whole seeds retain their flavour and aroma much longer than ground cumin.

• Toast the seeds in a dry pan or temper them in hot oil to release their full aroma.

• Use whole in curries, rice dishes, soups, and vegetable recipes.

• Grind after toasting for a fresher, more intense flavour in spice blends and marinades.
