"The Asian herb Cumin
Cumin is native to Iran, Syria, India and Turkey. Cumin is often confused with caraway. Although they are related, cumin seed is slightly larger, lighter in colour and tastes spicier. Also confusion with Black Cumin occurs, but that is really a different herb.
The Cultivation of Cumin
When the flowers go to seed, flowers can be cut and hung upside down. The seeds can then dry.
Cumin in the kitchen
Cumin is known as an ingredient in cumin cheese, but is also widely used in Mediterranean, Asian and Arabic dishes. It also gives that little extra to dishes for the grill or barbecue. Use cumin seeds to spice up curry, stews, chilli, couscous or lamb. Cumin seed is rich in good fats, protein, fibre, B vitamins, vitamin E, iron, magnesium and manganese."
