Cumin Seeds

Cumin Seed is a dried seed spice widely used across South Asian, Middle Eastern and Mexican cuisines for its warm, earthy and slightly bitter aroma; it appears as whole seeds or ground powder and is a staple in curry blends, spice rubs and stews. It is typically used in small quantities but, by weight, provides 10.5g of fiber per 100g and is a concentrated source of plant protein and healthy unsaturated fats. Rich in minerals such as iron and manganese and supplying a broad complement of plant-based amino acids, cumin also contains antioxidant polyphenols that contribute to its traditional uses for digestion and flavoring.
