Cumin info

mediterranean
Cuminum cyminum. In the Mediterranean cumin is among the most popular of spices. Its presence is made unmistakable by its powerful aroma. I regard cumin as a cool spice with an elegant taste. It originated in Egypt and the middle East and then spread eastwards and westwards. Its light coloured greengray seeds can be used either whole or ground but they always taste richer when they have been roasted first.
