Description
Cumin is very popular in world cuisines, from India, to the Middle East, North Africa and Mexico, and for good reason! Cumin delivers a pungent, smoky impact that works on its own and in combination with other spices. It is a natural for curry and chili recipes. Adds a delicious depth to yogurt-based dips, salads and drinks, such as the traditional Indian lassi. Our Roasted Cumin, from Bina Mehta’s own recipes, lets the complex aroma and flavor truly come alive!
According to Ayurveda, cumin is balancing for all three doshas.

This is the best cumin I have ever had–very fresh and flavorful! I used it in curries, on potatoes, in soups, as taco meat seasoning, and in all of my favorite recipes that call for cumin. Now that I’ve tried this, I will never buy cumin from anyone else.
