Cumin Seeds (Jeera): A Little History and More!

Native to Upper Egypt, cumin is now a widely cultivated spice used in numerous kitchens around the world. This versatile ingredient is a main component in Indian cooking, blending with various spices to create curry powder, garam masalas, and other aromatic mixes.

Cumin has a slightly bitter, sharp, and warm taste, with a nice aroma that sets it apart. It is 100% natural, with no preservatives or "fillers," and offers great health benefits.

Compared to cheaper Syrian cumin, the cumin from India has a unique sweet-bitter profile that is unmatched. This Indian cumin is packed in a no-barrier, resealable/reusable plastic jar, which is crucial for handling and preserving the quality of this spice.

Cumin seed is an essential part of curry powders and is typically used in savory recipes. It can be added when seasoning vegetables or meats before roasting to enhance the flavors.

This product boasts a robust, authentic, and earthy flavor similar to caraway but with a hotter profile. Cumin skillfully combines sweetness and bitterness in every seed. It can be toasted to further intensify its aroma, and it also has a hint of citrus that adds depth to any recipe.

Weighing in at a net weight of 5 lbs (80 oz), this is an authentic Indian product, also known by its Hindi name, Jeera.
