Ground Cumin / 16 oz

Cumin provides a key flavour to the cuisines of many cultures. It has a warm, earthy aroma and a peppery flavour with citrus notes. It's light tan to brown in colour and is a fine-textured powder. 

One of the most consumed spices after chiles and peppercorns, the spice is often as a key ingredient in many curry and chili powders. It is most popular in Indian, Middle Eastern, African and Mexican cooking. Cumin seeds were highly honoured in ancient Greek and Roman kitchens, often ground and kept on dining tables to be used much like black pepper is today. Cumin seeds are an excellent source of iron, helping to transport oxygen to the cells and aiding in metabolism and energy production. They are also a rich source of manganese, calcium and magnesium.

You can combine with ground chile peppers to season chili, fajita vegetables or meats. 
Use in Indian Masala or curry blends, Add to dry meat rubs and marinades, Combine with honey and black pepper to flavour vegetables, chicken and fish. Season sautéed vegetables with cumin for North African flair.
