Organic cumin from controlled organic cultivation in India. These whole brown cumin seeds possess a strong, warm-earthy and slightly nutty aroma and are particularly suitable for Indian, Oriental, and Mediterranean cuisine.
By using whole seeds, the essential oils and the characteristic aroma of the cumin are preserved for a long time. After harvesting, the seeds are gently dried, carefully cleaned, and sorted.
Whole cumin seeds are versatile in their use. They can be cooked along with dishes, briefly toasted before use, or ground fresh in a mortar or spice mill. Cumin is particularly suitable for curries, dal, lentil dishes, rice dishes, vegetables, stews, and spice blends.
Origin
The cumin seeds come from India, a traditional growing region for cumin. The warm and predominantly dry climate provides good conditions for cultivation and the development of its characteristic aroma.
Cultivation / Production / Harvest
The cumin is grown according to organic farming guidelines. After ripening, the plants are harvested and the seeds are threshed. Subsequently, they are gently dried, cleaned, and sorted.
Special Features
Since the cumin seeds remain whole, they can be freshly toasted or ground depending on the application. This allows the intense aroma to be released particularly well immediately before use.
Taste & Smell
Cumin possesses a strong, warm, and earthy scent with slightly nutty notes. In terms of taste, cumin is intensely spicy, slightly tart, and finely pungent. The aroma becomes even more pronounced through brief dry roasting.
