About

Our Certified Organic Ground Cumin (*Cuminum cyminum*) is the foundational spice of global cuisine. Finely milled from ethically sourced, sun-dried cumin seeds, this powder delivers an immediate, intense burst of warm, earthy, and slightly peppery flavour with subtle citrus undertones. Because it is certified organic, you are guaranteed a pure product free from synthetic pesticides, fillers, and artificial colours. It is an absolute pantry essential for crafting authentic Indian curries, Middle Eastern falafels, and Mexican chilli.

As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.

 

Directions of Use

Ground cumin releases its flavour instantly, making it incredibly versatile for both cooking and finishing dishes.

1. Curries & Stews: Essential for Indian dishes. Add 1-2 teaspoons during the cooking process to build a rich, earthy base flavour.

2. Rubs & Marinades: Combine with smoked paprika, garlic powder, and olive oil for a brilliant dry rub for beef, lamb, or roasted chickpeas.

3. Soups & Dips: Stir directly into carrot or pumpkin soup, or sprinkle over homemade hummus as a fragrant garnish.

4. Digestive Tonic: Mix a small pinch into warm water with lemon to soothe bloating after a heavy meal, a practice rooted in traditional Ayurveda.

How should I store it for freshness?

Ground spices lose flavour much faster than whole seeds. You must store ground cumin in a tightly sealed, airtight container in a cool, dark place (like a pantry away from the oven). Heat, light, and air are the enemies of freshness.

Whole seeds vs. Ground powder?

Whole seeds are usually toasted in hot oil early in a recipe to slowly release flavour. Ground cumin releases flavour instantly. It is better for shorter cooking times, marinades, or stirring in near the end of a dish.

Why is it important to buy organic?

Buying Certified Organic guarantees purity. Cheap conventional cumin powders are sometimes adulterated with fillers or artificial dyes. Organic ensures your spice hasn't been grown with synthetic pesticides.

What is ground cumin used for?

It is a foundational spice in Indian curries, Mexican chili, and Middle Eastern hummus. It pairs exceptionally well with beef, lamb, and roasted root vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes, adding warm, earthy depth.

Does cumin help with digestion?

Yes, cumin has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as a digestive aid. It is believed to stimulate the production of digestive enzymes, helping to break down heavy foods and reduce gas and bloating.

How do I know if it has expired?

Spices don't typically "spoil" if kept dry, but they lose potency. If your ground cumin looks dull instead of rich brown, and has no distinct, pungent aroma when you sniff it, it is time to replace it.
