Cumin is a spice with a distinctive warm and earthy flavor, derived from the seeds of the Cuminum cyminum plant, which belongs to the parsley family. It is widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, and North African dishes.
Cumin seeds are small, elongated, and slightly curved, with a brown color. They can be used whole or ground, depending on the recipe. When toasted or dry-roasted, cumin seeds release a robust aroma and deepen in flavor, enhancing the overall taste of dishes.
