Cumin Seed, Whole, Organic, 1 lb.
Frontier Co-op's whole cumin seed (cuminum cyminum) is the second most popular spice in the world, ranked just below black pepper. It's been used by the Egyptians since around 5000 B.C. to season meats, fish, and stews. Today, cumin seed is very popular in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Mexican cuisines. Cumin seeds look similar to caraway seeds and feature a warm, strong, and nutty aroma. Easily grind the seed in a spice mill or grinder for a fresh, strong flavor, or use the seeds whole in recipes.
Cumin delivers a sharp and earthy flavor with a pungent aftertaste. Ground cumin seed is known for its versatility and importance in many dishes. Aside from being an essential ingredient in curries and chili con carne, cumin has long been used to soften the 'heat' of sauces, fiery chilis, soups, stews, and more. It also adds warm and earthy flavors to many savory dishes. Use it to enhance meat and vegetable dishes, and cheeses, too. Cumin seed pairs well with coriander, chilies, and fresh herbs.
Frontier Co-op's organic cumin is sourced from India and Turkey where the most flavorful cumin is grown.
Suggested uses: Chili, soups, stews, curries, garam masala

The Skeppshult Cast Iron "Swing" Spice Mill is designed by Carl&Carl of Denmark and handmade in Sweden. The mill (or "kryddkvarn" in Swedish) comes with either a beech, oak or walnut lid. A strong rubber seal is fit into a groove on the inside of the lid so your pepper and spices will stay fresh longer. A notch is crafted into the rim of the bowl to make it easy to remove the lid.
One cast iron spice grinder bowl nests into the other with a lid covering the top bowl. This unique design allows you to store whole peppercorn in the top bowl, and pour a portion into the bottom bowl when you're ready to grind it. The inside base of the bottom bowl and outside base of the top bowl are finished with a coarse cast iron pattern which creates excellent burrs for grinding when rubbed against each other. The grinder is also excellent for herbs, other dry spices, and flax seed.

The base of the Skeppshult cast iron spice mill has a gentle curve to it, so while it sits upright, it swings slightly in a circular pattern when bumped—which we think is pretty neat! The bowl is bottom heavy so it easily stays upright.

Bowl dimensions, when nested and without lid:
Outside: 3" diameter, 2.75" high
Inside: 2.25" diameter, 1.75" deep
