Introduction:
Cumin, also known as cumin, is a spice and remedy that is used especially in oriental cuisine. Although cumin and caraway seem very similar visually, they are very different in taste: cumin tastes spicy, hot and intense and has a bittersweet and woody-earthy fragrance. Caraway tastes rather mild.
Use/Preparation:
In oriental cuisine, cumin as a spice refines, for example, falafel, hummus, braised dishes or spice mixtures such as garam masala and curry.
Health:
Cumin is said to have a digestive and anti-inflammatory effect. The seeds are rich in iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc, as well as B vitamins and vitamins E, A and C.
Alternatives:
Black cumin, fennel seeds, coriander seeds and aniseed can be used like cumin in various dishes, especially Asian dishes. A mixture of cumin and aniseed comes very close to the spicy, sweet taste of cumin.
