About Cumin Seeds

Cuminum cyminum

Seed Type Heirloom Seed, Open Pollinated Seed

Cumin is a pungent herb that is most commonly used to spice Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern foods. Though the spice is widely available in the west, the seeds are not, and We're pleased to be one of the few North American purveyors of cumin seeds. Plant cumin seeds in a sunny spot with good drainage.
