Cumin Seed Whole
Cumin seeds are sometimes confused with caraway seeds, since their appearances are so similar. Don’t make this mistake, though – the flavours are totally different. Cumin seeds have a earthy, warm, and slightly nutty taste. Some people note a subtle bitterness or hint of citrus. The aroma is intense with strong earthy and slightly smoky notes. Cumin seeds are often dry roasted before grinding, or fried in oil to release their flavour if they are being used whole.
People take cumin for digestion problems including diarrhea, colic, bowel spasms, and gas. Cumin is also used to increase urine flow to relieve bloating (as a diuretic); to start menstruation; and to increase sexual desire (as an aphrodisiac).
