Spice essential
$5.99
A warm, nutty spice with a distinctive earthy aroma, cumin seeds are a kitchen staple across Indian, Middle Eastern, Mexican, and North African cuisines. Toasting or tempering them releases their essential oils, giving dishes a deep, smoky backbone.
Flavours: Earthy, warm, nutty, slightly bitter, with a smoky undertone
How to Use: Add whole seeds to hot oil or ghee at the start of cooking (tempering) to release their aroma before adding onions, garlic, or other aromatics. Can also be dry-roasted and ground into powder for spice blends, marinades, or finishing touches on rice, dals, roasted vegetables, and meats.
