Beyond its taste, cumin has long been featured in traditional spice blends and everyday cooking around the world.

Fragrant, bold, and easy to use — Ameen Foods Cumin Powder is a staple for both everyday cooking and authentic spice blends.

How to use it
Use one to two teaspoons in a curry, chilli, taco seasoning or hummus, frying it briefly in the oil before the liquid goes in. It also seasons roasted carrots and a yoghurt dressing at about half a teaspoon. Ground cumin is more immediate than whole seed, so it suits quick dishes where there is no time to bloom seeds. Technique tip: give it no more than twenty seconds in hot oil, since ground cumin has far more surface area than whole seed and burns in a fraction of the time.
