Description

Cumin seeds resemble caraway seeds, being oblong in shape, longitudinally ridged, and yellow brown in color. Although the small cumin seed looks rather unassuming, it packs a punch when it comes to flavor, which can be described as penetrating and peppery with slight citrus overtones. Cumin s unique flavor complexity has made it an integral spice in the cuisines of Mexico, India and the Middle East.
