Caraway powder

Blond caraway, a spice used for millennia in oriental cuisine, stands out for its warm, sweet and slightly spicy aroma, with nuances of lemon and a touch of peppermint. Its notes of anise and fennel, combined with a slightly bitter and sweet taste reminiscent of cumin and coriander seeds, as well as an earthy and fruity flavor, make it a perfect companion for various dishes, such as soups, sauerkraut and stews.  Blond caraway is a pale yellow spice derived from the seeds of the biennial caraway plant, belonging to the Apiaceae family. Appreciated in Nordic countries and Mediterranean cuisine, it has recently been rediscovered for its health benefits, notably its digestive, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The small brown seeds of blond caraway, once ground, offer a slightly bitter and peppery flavor.  In addition to its culinary uses, ground blond caraway finds applications in dentistry as a filling material for dental cavities.  Versatile, ground blond caraway can be incorporated into a variety of savory dishes, from soups to meats and fish, as well as sweet preparations such as cakes, biscuits, fruit tarts, pancakes and pastries. To fully reveal its flavor, it is recommended to add it at the end of cooking.  Health-wise, blond caraway is rich in antioxidants, selenium, and vitamin C, helping to fight free radicals and reduce the risk of diseases such as cancer. It is also an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a polyunsaturated fatty acid beneficial for cardiovascular health by reducing bad cholesterol levels. With fiber-rich properties, blond caraway promotes digestive health, prevents constipation, improves metabolism and maintains a healthy weight. It also offers a variety of essential minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, beneficial for the proper functioning of muscles and nerves.
