Cumin

(Carum Carvi)

The cumin grows as a relatively tender, annual, herbaceous plant about 40-50 inches high. The finely ribbed stems are bare and slightly branched. The plant forms a narrow taproot. The alternate, stalked and bare leaves are one-to two-fold fiederschnittig, with narrow sections.

Ingredients

Cumin has an intense, distinctive taste, which is caused by the Cuminaldehyd contained in the essential oil.
