Description

Cumel is a unique spice that has long been used in cooking and as an herbal medicine. Although often mistaken for a seed, this small, brown seed is actually the dried fruit of the caraway plant (Carum carvi L.)

Its slightly bitter, earthy flavor is reminiscent of licorice, coriander, anise and fennel. It can be used whole or ground in both sweet and savory dishes, such as breads, pastries, curries, and stews. It is sometimes infused into spirits and liqueurs as well. When used medicinally, cumin can be brewed as a tea or taken as a supplement.

Research shows that the aromatic compounds responsible for its distinct taste may also provide health benefits, such as improving digestion.

Culinary applications

Cumel is best known as an ingredient in rye and soda bread, but it can also be used in other baked goods, such as muffins, cookies, croutons, dinner rolls, and French toast. It adds a peppery, warm body to fruit-based desserts and sweets such as pies, tarts, jams, jellies, and custards. It can also be used in savory foods such as meat marinades, curries, stews, soups, stews, and sauces. Additionally, you can try it as a seasoning for roasted vegetables or add it to pickles or fermented foods like sauerkraut. Alternatively, add cumin seed to hot water to make a relaxing tea.
