Cumin Seed - Whole

A very old and traditional spice originating from the Middle-East, the small, slender brown cumin seeds have an aroma that is pungent, warm, earthy, lingering, and sweet with a hint of peppermint. Cumin is used extensively in Indian curries, chutneys, and Middle-eastern, Cuban and Mexican-style dishes. Whole seeds are usually crushed or ground to a powder for use in most recipes.
