The roasted Cumin seed is the dried, roasted fruit seed (white cumin seed) of a plant in the parsley family. It has a complex flavor with a distinctive smoky aroma and a slightly warm bittersweet taste.
Grinding the seeds in a mortar & pestle or coffee mill will release their fragrance and bring out even more flavor to better season your dish. Because of its warm, smoky grounding taste, it is used in lots of stews and soups and also will bring out the fragrance and much better flavor when added to a variety of dishes.
