Cumin

Cumin is grown in the Middle East, India, and China. As a medicinal plant, Cumin has known many uses over its long history. It is used to treat conditions ranging from indigestion and diarrhea to headaches, kidney and bladder stones, eye disease, and even leprosy. Today, most cumin sold in the United States originally comes from India.

Cumin has been used to spice food since Ancient Egypt. Cumin is one of the main flavors in chili powder and taco seasoning. It is found in the kitchens of Mexico, Spain, India, North Africa and the Middle East. Cumin enriches the taste of vegetable soups and stews. Cumin has the strength to stand up to grilled and roasted meat. It also pairs really well with sweet vegetables like pumpkin and butternut squash.

Cumin is used in our Tropical stews & Creolicious.
