Cumin seeds, also spelled as “cumin,” are small, elongated seeds with a distinctive warm, earthy flavor and aroma. They are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins (especially vitamin E), and minerals (such as iron and magnesium). Cumin seeds are widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican dishes, for their ability to enhance savory flavors in curries, soups, stews, and spice blends. They offer potential health benefits, including aiding digestion, improving immunity, and promoting respiratory health.
