The moment they touch a hot, dry pan, the seeds open up. The organic Cumin Seeds from Place des Épices carry a warm, earthy, slightly bitter aroma that blooms when toasted, dry or in hot oil. Native to the Near East, cumin is one of the great spices of world cuisine and a key ingredient in curry blends. Toast a spoonful before adding it to a dal or a chili con carne, or pair it with Munster, as they do in Alsace.
