DETAILS
Ground cumin is a fragrant spice, used in curries or hearty dishes. A primary ingredient in chilli powder and curry powder, this aromatic seed is a staple in American cooking and around the world.
Cumin has a slightly sweet, warming flavour with a nutty element, and these qualities mean it’s often seen as a savoury alternative to cinnamon. It works particularly well with chilli flakes, as they bolster the natural spicy flavour and add a rich, earthier tone.
STORAGE ADVICE To maximize the flavor and shelf life of ground cumin, it’s essential to store it properly. Store ground cumin in an airtight container, preferably a glass jar or airtight plastic container, to prevent exposure to air and moisture. Place the container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help preserve the aromatic oils and flavors of the ground cumin. Avoid storing it near the stove or other heat sources. Additionally, it’s advisable to keep ground cumin away from strong-smelling spices, as it can easily absorb odors. By following these storage recommendations, you can ensure that your ground cumin remains flavorful and potent for an extended period.
PACKAGING This pack contains 100g of Ground Cumin.
