Country Of Origin : India
Cumin seeds (Cuminum cyminum) are an essential spice known for their warm, earthy aroma, and distinctively nutty, slightly peppery flavor. Widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and North African cuisines, cumin is a key ingredient in spice blends like garam masala, curry powder, taco seasoning, and ras el hanout.
India is the world’s largest producer and exporter of cumin seeds, especially from Rajasthan and Gujarat, known for their bold flavor and consistent quality. Other producers include Syria, Turkey, and Iran.
