It is often confused with caraway, but although these two plants are from the same family, their seeds have very different tastes, with cumin being hotter and spicier. It is used in the preparation of tajines, couscous broth, falafels, gazpacho...

Originally from the banks of the Nile, this plant of the Apiaceae family contains small striated seeds of a few millimeters. Used for millennia, cumin was found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs and served as currency until the Middle Ages.

Its warm notes immediately evoke oriental cuisines. Its taste is powerful, slightly spicy, acrid with a touch of bitterness.

In seeds or powder, it goes well with bread, pastries, cheese, fish, poultry and soups. An essential ingredient in many curries, cumin deliciously spices up grated carrots. Spices and aromatic plants are very popular in the kitchen; they enhance and flavor our dishes and desserts in an extraordinary way.
