Cumin seeds are harvested by hand from an annual plant; they are small, boat-shaped, and resemble caraway seeds. You will find whole seeds in Indian recipes (also called jeera) and ground cumin as an ingredient in Mexican and Middle Eastern dishes, as well as chili, barbecue sauce, baked beans, soups, and marinades. Cumin is a typical ingredient in chili powder and is also often found in other spice blends such as garam masala, curry powder, achiote blends, adobos, berbere, and bahaarat. Ground cumin is made by grinding dry roasted cumin seeds. It can be added at any time to a recipe as its flavor doesn't need heat or time to be released. When you use this spice in small amounts, it works to enhance the flavor profile of the dish you add it to, and it can bring out the sweet flavors of the dish or food. It can also add a small kick of heat, which makes it the perfect ingredient in many Indian and Middle Eastern foods. Cumin has a warm, earthy flavor and aroma with a bit of both sweetness and bitterness. Cumin is a delicious match for meat, especially beef and pork, but it can also give vegetarian dishes more depth and complexity. It works in more dishes than you may realize. Not only is it probably in your favorite chili recipe, it's a key ingredient in Indian curries, Middle Eastern specialties such as hummus, and Mexican dishes like fajitas. Try it in your favorite dish!
