About Cumin Powder Organic

Cumin is a spice made from the dried seed of a small, herbaceous umbellifer plant, which is a member of the parsley family. Cumin is one of the most popular spices and is commonly used in Latin American, Middle Eastern, North African, and Indian cuisines. Evidence of cumin in Egypt’s pyramids suggests that it was in use more than 5,000 years ago. It was a significant spice for the Minoans in ancient Crete. Thought to be native to Egypt’s Nile Valley and the Eastern Mediterranean, cumin is cultivated in India (largest producer and consumer), Syria, Turkey and Iran.

Cumin contains essential oils that make it very aromatic and awakens your senses by its smell only. The smell of the oval seeds is strong and heavy, spice-sweet, with acrid but warm depth. The flavor is rich, slightly bitter, sharp, earthy and warm with a persistent pungency. It adds earthiness and warmth to food. It a staple to soups and stews. Cumin is a key ingredient of many spice mixes like garam masala, baharat, curry powder, adobos.

Our organic cumin powder contains high concentrations of vitamin B and E, trace minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium) and can act as a natural antioxidant, defending against infections and boosting the immune system.
