Cumin

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) is a small ridged seed used whole or ground. Indian production is concentrated in western growing belts, including Gujarat and Rajasthan. Flavour is warm, earthy and slightly bitter-nutty. Traditional culinary and wellness uses exist in South Asian cooking; those traditions are not medical claims.
