• Cumin is a spice made from the dried seed of a plant known as Cuminum cyminum, a member of the parsley family. Cumin is one of the most popular spices and is commonly used in Latin American, Middle Eastern, North African, and Indian cuisines, among many others. It is available both as whole seeds as well as in ground form.
• Cumin has a warm, earthy flavor and aroma with a bit of both sweetness and bitterness. The whole seeds need to be toasted to reach the optimum flavor.
• Cooking With Cumin
• Depending on whether the recipe calls for cumin seed or ground cumin, you will use it differently in recipes. Whole cumin seeds should be included early in the recipe so the spice has time to release its essence; adding them to a hot broth or oil will allow the aroma and flavors to disperse into the dish. Ground cumin is a quintessential spice in a few different blends, including curry powder. It is also used as part of a rub, in a marinade, and as a seasoning for hearty dishes.
• If switching from whole seeds to ground (or vice versa), you need to add different amounts. Because the flavor of ground cumin is more concentrated than whole cumin seeds, you will need less in a dish. For a recipe that calls for 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, use 1 1/4 tablespoons of cumin seeds.
• Cumin is not widely used in baking as cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, or allspice. But it is still good enough to add great flavor to many sweets, desserts, and baked goods. Indians and Sri Lankans commonly use this spice in their traditional sweets
• Cumin is a popular spice to consume and research. Cumin may help manage diabetes, reduce cholesterol, and boost memory, among many other benefits. But it may affect fertility and pregnancy.
