Organic Cumin Seed, Cuminum cyminum, is also known as organic cumin seeds, organic jeera or jeera seeds. 

Cumin is a member of the Apiaceae family of plants and so, is a relative of fragrant spices and herbs like Caraway Seed, Dill Seed, and Dried Parsley.  

Cumin has only been embraced by the US food scene in the last few decades but worldwide, it is one of the most consumed spices, right behind chiles and pepper.

Businesses that frequently purchase Organ Cumin Seed are American restaurants; seasoning companies; independent spice shops; butchers; meat processors; and companies that manufacture supplements.

We also have Organic Ground Cumin, conventional Cumin Seed, and conventional Ground Cumin available.

How To Use

Try Organic Cumin Seed in Sweet Chickpea Chili in Slow Cooker for a healthy, meatless main dish.  Add it to sofrito, the Latin American seasoning base, and you’re on your way to an authentic carne asada. We suggest it in Arroz Con Pollo for an easy one-pot dish that can be made ahead and in large batches. Organic Cumin Seeds go well in meat dishes; add some to Moorish Pork Skewers or Smothered Chicken Burritos. Mix into Albondigas, the Spanish-style meatball. They are terrific with eggplant; add to the spice mix when making the eggplant dish Imam Bayildi, or add cumin-scented baba ghanoush to your appetizer menu. 

Dry-roasting Organic Cumin Seed wakes up the volatile oils and unleashes a more intense aroma. Toast seeds and grind them in a mortar and pestle or a reserved spice grinder for bold flavor.

Organic Cumin Seeds pair with allspice, anise seed, brown mustard, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, fennel, fenugreek, garlic, ginger, nutmeg, paprika, turmeric, and yellow mustard.
