Part Used: Dried seeds of Cuminum cyminum
Description: Cumin Seed Powder is produced from the dried seeds of Cuminum cyminum, an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region and western Asia, and now cultivated in many warm climates. The plant forms small elongated seeds with a light brown to greenish-brown colour and distinctive ridged surfaces. Seeds are harvested once fully mature and naturally dried before processing.
After harvesting, the seeds are carefully cleaned to remove stems, chaff, and field debris. They are then finely ground using controlled milling methods to create a smooth, uniform powder while preserving the natural colour and texture of the spice. This grinding process ensures consistent particle size suitable for blending and culinary use.
The finished cumin seed powder is light to medium brown in colour with a fine, free-flowing texture. It disperses evenly in both dry and liquid formulations and maintains stable quality during storage, making it convenient for a wide range of culinary and creative applications.
Uses: Cumin Seed Powder is widely used in cooking for seasoning curries, soups, stews, sauces, rice dishes, marinades, baked goods, and savoury spice blends. It is also suitable for use in beverage mixes, dry rubs, spice formulations, and culinary craft projects where ground cumin is required for flavour and blending consistency.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
