Cumin Seed – Whole & Ground

(Cuminum cyminum)

Few spices are as foundational to global cuisine as cumin. Warm, earthy, slightly smoky, and unmistakably aromatic, Cuminum cyminum has been cultivated and traded for over 4,000 years — from ancient Egypt, where cumin seeds were found in pharaonic tombs, to the spice markets of medieval Europe and the vibrant kitchens of India, Mexico, and North Africa. Today, cumin is one of the most widely consumed spices in the world, second only to black pepper in global popularity.

At Glenbrook Farms, we offer cumin in both Whole Seed and Ground forms, so you can choose the format that best suits your cooking style.
