Cumin seeds

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) seed are extensively used as a condiment or a spice in culinary practices of the Indian Subcontinent and some other Asian, African and Latin American countries. Both whole and ground cumin is used as a staple in various dishes due to its distinct warm and earthy flavor. Because of its strong aroma, only a small amount of cumin is used in recipes to provide them with a powerful punch. Cumin boasts a number of important nutrients that can help keep you healthy.
