Cumin is an aromatic Middle Eastern spice with a distinctive dark,
earthy flavor that many people associate with chile con carne.
Cumin's strong flavor makes it a good choice for soups and stews,
particularly those which are simmered for a long time. Long
slow cooking mellows the spice and softens its texture to a
pleasant chewiness. Cumin also gives a fine punch to mild
flavors like fresh cheese, breads and crackers.
Cumin is the second most popular spice in the world (black pepper
is number one). It has been an important staple spice for
centuries in many cultures, especially those of Latin America,
North Africa, the eastern Mediterranean and India.
Cumin is one of the main ingredients in curry powder and is also
an important spice in chili powder which is used extensively
in the United States, Mexico and Europe. Cumin also works
well in marinades for poultry, beef, pork and fish.
We are happy to offer both whole cumin seeds and ground
cumin at excellent prices.
