Cuminum cyminum
plant overview
cumin
Cumin seed is harvested from a flowering plant in the caraway family that is
native to India and the Mediterranean. Cumin has an ancient history,
evidenced by its mention in the writings of Hippocrates and its reference in
the Bible as a tithing herb, along with mint and anise. Today, cumin seed
and powdered cumin is a staple in African, Mediterranean, Indian and Asian
cuisines. Like caraway, cumin seed can also be used in baking and to make a
mild tea.
