Cumin
$9.00 – $24.30
Native to the Mediterranean and South Asia, Cumin is also a signature flavor for Central American and European cuisines. As a symbol of love and fidelity during the Middle Ages, wedding guests carried Cumin in their pockets, and wives of soldiers added it to baked bread for their husbands. Our Cumin is hand harvested, and has a high percentage of essential oils, delivering more powerful aromatics, and a slightly astringent, citrusy quality.

This cumin is great! It’s easy to grind (although you can buy it ground), fragrant and delicious! It really brightens up meat for tacos, enchiladas and more…It is mouthwatering good. It is really one of the staple spices in our home,and we will get it from Local Spicery going forward.
