Cumin Seeds
Cumin is the dried, white fruit of a slender annual herb, recognised for its greyish-brown colour and distinctive aroma. The plant grows 15 to 50 cm high, bearing white or rose-coloured flowers in small umbels. Its elongated, ridged seeds (3–6 mm) carry a warm, slightly bitter flavour that has made cumin an essential spice across global cuisines.
With its aromatic fragrance and versatile taste, cumin is widely used as a condiment in curries, breads, cakes, cheeses, and traditional dishes of Central and South America. Beyond its culinary value, cumin is valued in traditional medicine as a stimulant, carminative, stomachic, and astringent. Its essential oil also finds applications in perfumery, liqueurs, and cordials.
