Cumin Seeds - Brown
An essential ingredient in curry and masala mixtures. Strongly aromatic, spicy and slightly bitter in taste.
Cumin is a member of the parsley family. It comes mostly from Iran and India, though it is native to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and Egypt. It is actually grown in many places, since it is rather easy to grow and adapts well to a variety of climates. Cumin has a distinctive, slightly bitter yet warm flavour. Does not keep particularly well, replace every 6 months or so.
Culinary UsesFrequently used in Mexican dishes such as Chilli Con Carne and hot tamales. Cumin can be added to zesty lime or lemon based marinades for chicken, turkey, lamb and pork. It is also a good addition to chilli, spicy meat stews, barbecue marinades and sauces.
There are few Indian dishes that are not graced by cumins presence and the seeds are used in a wide variety of ways; from frying in hot oil to start a curry to sprinkling on naan breads before frying or added to dal or rice for extra flavour.
The seeds enhance the flavour of almost all vegetables and can make a highly flavoured coating for tandoori roasted meats.
