about this product
What is Cumin Seed Powder?
Cumin Seed Powder is the ground seed of Cuminum cyminum, a small annual in the carrot family (Apiaceae). The "seeds" are technically achenes, small single-seeded dry fruits, with a warm, earthy aroma from cuminaldehyde.
About the plant
Cumin is native to the eastern Mediterranean and Southwest Asia and has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is one of the most universally used spices in the world, appearing prominently in Indian cooking (where it is called "jeera"), Mexican chili and taco seasoning, and Middle Eastern and North African blends such as za'atar and ras el hanout. India is the largest producer, followed by Iran, Syria, and Turkey. Whole seeds toasted and ground fresh give the most intense aroma, while the pre-ground powder is convenient for everyday cooking.

Herb Stomp (Sandy) is BY FAR the best Herb and Kratom store I have ever been to. In my 2.5 years of using Kratom, I have never been to a place as helpful as this! The employees are so so helpful! Usually when buying Kratom, I’m met with grumpy head shop owners who seem to want me to either spend out of my budget, or…
Awesome, knowledgeable staff. Great selection and quality of herbs and ethnobotanicals. I also appreciate that testing is done for contaminants and potency on certain herbs.
