Product Description

Golden cumin (Cuminum cyminum) with 4% volatile oils. Each 100g contains thousands of aromatic seeds. Dry roast before use to enhance nutty-earthy flavor. Aids digestion by stimulating enzyme production. Store in airtight containers (3 years freshness). The essential oils contain cuminaldehyde that gives characteristic aroma. Traditionally chewed after meals in India. Farmers use careful threshing to prevent broken seeds. The flavor profile becomes more complex with longer cooking. Essential for tempering dals and vegetable dishes. Used in Ayurveda to balance agni (digestive fire). The black variety (kala jeera) has even more intense flavor. Combines beautifully with coriander in spice blends. Harvested when seed heads turn brown and dry.
