Organic Cumin

Cumin, a spice rich in color and flavor, offers a rich aroma and slightly grainy texture, with notes of dried fruit and hazelnut. On the palate, it has a tangy, warm, earthy, peppery and slightly bitter flavor, ideal for enhancing spicy and savory recipes.  Whole organic cumin, from the seeds of the annual herbaceous plant Cuminum cyminum, native to North Africa and the Middle East, is 100% organic, free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Whole seeds, lightly roasted, better retain their aromas and nutritional properties compared to ground cumin.  Historically used in the mummification of the Pharaohs and for rituals in the 15th century, cumin has health benefits. Its components, like ginger and cinnamon, promote the absorption of nutrients and maintain a healthy digestive system.  Whole organic cumin is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, strengthening the immune system, improving digestion, reducing inflammation and contributing to bone health. Its high content of iron, magnesium, calcium, and beta-carotene, an antioxidant that prevents aging, makes it a beneficial choice for a healthy diet.  Used in many global cuisines, whole organic cumin flavors a variety of dishes, such as vegetables, sauces, stews, soups, salads, meats, beans, rice, curries, stews and tagines. It can be mixed with other spices for complex flavors.  To reveal its full flavor, it is recommended to roast whole organic cumin before adding it to dishes, or to grind it after cooking. Incorporate this organic condiment into recipes to enjoy its rich aromas and health benefits, while appreciating its natural, chemical-free origin.
