Read MoreCumin seeds, also known as Jeera, come from the plant Cuminum cyminum, a member of the Apiaceae family, native to the region stretching from the Eastern Mediterranean to India. Cumin seeds, either ground or whole, are valued for their earthy and warming flavor, making them essential in various dishes such as stews, soups, and spiced gravies like chili. They are also a common ingredient in pickles and pastries.
In regions where heavily spiced foods are preferred, cumin is a favorite, ranking as the second most popular spice globally, right after black pepper. Cumin seeds are prized for their distinctive aroma and are widely used to enhance the flavor of dishes. They are readily available in both seed and powder form.
