Description
An aromatic spice native to eastern Mediterranean countries and Upper Egypt. White cumin seeds are the most commonly available variety; black cumin seeds are slightly smaller and sweeter in flavour. Cumin may look unassuming at first, but it adds a distinct earthiness to a wide range of dishes and is particularly prolific in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. Available either as seeds or ground into a powder, we go the extra mile to source cumin in its purest form. Furthermore, we foil-seal each jar to lock in freshness and flavour.
Cumin has a slightly sweet, warming flavour with a nutty element, and these qualities mean it’s often seen as a savoury alternative to cinnamon. It works particularly well with chilli flakes, as they bolster the natural spicy flavour and add a rich, earthier tone. The secret to cumin is its strong oil content, which, when warmed, is unleashed to create a distinctive taste and aroma.
