Cumin is a spice made from the dried seeds of the Cuminum cyminum plant, which belongs to the parsley family. These seeds are commonly referred to as cumin seeds.
Cumin is the dried, white fruit of a small, slender annual herb, typically greyish-brown in color. The fruit, known as cumin seed, features five prominent ridges along its surface and measures approximately 3 to 6 mm in length. Elongated and ovoid in shape, the seed has a slightly bitter taste and emits a warm, distinctive aroma. The plant itself grows to a height of 15 to 50 cm and produces small umbels of white or rose-colored flowers.
Cumin seeds possess a distinct aromatic odor and a slightly bitter taste. Widely used as a condiment, they are a key ingredient in curry powders and are also used to season breads, cakes, and cheeses. Cumin is commonly featured in traditional dishes across Central and South America. In medicinal applications, cumin serves as a stimulant, carminative, stomachic, and astringent. Additionally, cumin seed oil is utilized in perfumery and for flavoring liqueurs and cordials.
