About Spices, cumin seed
Cumin seed has one of the most recognizable aromas in the spice world, warm and slightly smoky with an earthy undertone that deepens when toasted. Whole seeds can be bloomed in hot oil before building a dish, or ground fresh for curries, chilis, taco seasonings, and spiced rice. The fat content is relatively high for a dried spice, but a cook uses cumin in small quantities, so it contributes negligible calories in practice. It holds up well to long-cooked braises and is equally at home in Middle Eastern, South Asian, Mexican, and North African cooking.
