Available as whole seeds or powder, cumin is the spice that comes from the Cuminum cyminum plant. A long, greenish brown seed with a strong, sweet aroma and a bitter, slightly spicy flavour is obtained. As one of the main ingredients in many seasoning blends, this spice adds an aromatic, characteristic flavour, thanks to being rich in essential oils. It’s ideal for soup, stews, marinades, and cheese, and it goes perfectly with paprika.
