►Cumin (Cuminucum cyminum) is a flowering plant which belongs to the family Apiaceae. ►Cumin seeds are extensively used as a condiment or a spice in culinary practices in India and other Asian, African, and Latin American countries. ►Both whole and ground cumin is used as a staple in various dishes, as it has a distinctly warm and earthy flavor. ►Because of its strong aroma, only a small amount of cumin essential oil is used in recipes; this is enough to provide them with a powerful punch. ►Few foods are as iron-dense as cumin. This makes it a good iron source, even when used in small amounts as a seasoning.
