Cumin Ground 100g

Ground cumin is the powdered form of cumin seeds, which come from the dried fruit of the plant Cuminum cyminum, a member of the parsley family. It has a warm, earthy, and slightly nutty flavor with a hint of citrus and bitterness. Because the seeds are roasted and then ground, the powder carries an even more intense aroma than the whole seeds. You’ll find ground cumin in a lot of spice blends—like curry powder, garam masala, taco seasoning, and chili powder. It’s used worldwide in Indian dals and curries, Middle Eastern hummus and falafel, Mexican chili and salsas, even North African tagines. Too much can overpower a dish, but just the right pinch gives food a deep, rich base flavor. Ground Cumin is added to dishes like soups, stews, curries, and marinades, and is a key component of spice blends like chili powder and curry powder.
