Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) is an annual herbaceous plant in the Apiaceae family—the same family as parsley—and is native to the Near East. Its earthy flavor when unprocessed was particularly prized, which is why it was used as a smoking spice or to season dishes.

Widely used in Creole, Middle Eastern, and African cuisine, it’s perfect for spicing up traditional dishes such as couscous, tagine, or chili con carne. It’s also found in certain cheeses, such as Gouda. It pairs very well with roast chicken or a Vichy-style carrot salad, for example!

In cases of indigestion, abdominal pain, or stomach pain, cumin is an excellent remedy and is also effective against rheumatic inflammation.
