ROASTED

CUMIN SEED

(Cuminum cyminum)

Also known as  'Bhuna Jeera, Roasted Kamoun'

Roasted Cumin seeds are the dried & roasted fruit/seed of an annual flowering plant in
parsley family. During toasting, cumin seed loses some bitter pungency and enhance more earthy and warming aromas, resulting in a pleasing,
well-balanced flavor.
Grinding the seeds in a mortar & pestle or coffee mill, will release their fragrance and bring out even more flavor to better season your dish.

Suggested Uses:

The earthy, rich, slightly smoky flavor of toasted cumin seeds is great sprinkled on
stews, soups and salads, to add a tiny bit of crunch. Grind the seeds, and use instead of
ground cumin to bring out the fragrance and add much better flavor to variety of dishes

Health Benefits:

Cumin seeds have a high concentration of the essential oil cuminaldehyde, that stimulates the production of pancreatic enzymes and help digestion, treats stomach upset and flatulence.
