Cumin whole seeds

Whole cumin seeds are the small aromatic seeds from the Cuminum cyminum plant, highly valued in cooking for their warm, earthy, and slightly spicy flavor. These yellowish-brown seeds are used whole to add texture and an intense touch to a wide variety of dishes, from stews and soups to sauces and spice blends.

Cumin originates from the Mediterranean region and Western Asia, and its cultivation has spread throughout Latin America and other parts of the world. It is an essential ingredient in many traditional cuisines, such as Mexican, Indian, North African, and Arab.

Properties: in addition to enriching the flavor of preparations, cumin seeds are known for their antioxidant content, their ability to aid digestion, and their antimicrobial properties. They are a natural source of iron, making them a good supplement for vegetarian or vegan diets.

In the Spanish of Hispanic America, cumin is also commonly known as "comino entero" or simply "comino". In some regions, it may be referred to as "alcaravea", although this term is usually used for a different seed, so it is important to differentiate it.
