Aroma: Warm, strong, nutty
Culinary uses: Cumin is considered a warming spice. It is not truly "spicy," but it warms in a similar way that cinnamon does. It is used extensively in Indian cooking, as well as Latin cooking. The spice is best used whole or freshly ground for maximum flavor. The whole seeds can be toasted or bloomed in ghee to release the flavor. Use cumin with all sorts of meat or vegetable dishes, as well as cream sauce, salad dressing, and summer beverages. Cumin pairs well with coriander, other warming spices, chilies, and fresh herbs.
Buy cumin seeds from Pure Indian Foods to taste the organic difference. Our seeds have no pesticides or other unnatural elements added during their development. You simply have pure whole cumin seeds ready for the next recipe.
Select between whole or ground cumin seeds when ordering Cumin Seeds (Jeera) online. Whole seeds offer slightly more flavor when ground at home because all the oils are trapped within the cumin. However, ground white cumin seeds are much more convenient when the resident chef is in a hurry. Keep plenty of cumin on hand to create some of the best curries in the world. Pure Indian Foods only supplies the highest quality seeds in the industry.
Can I use cumin and black cumin interchangeably in recipes?
Yes, you can use them interchangeably in recipes, although the darker cumin seeds are a bit stronger in flavor. In Indian cooking, cumin seeds are called Jeera. The most common form is light in color. However, black cumin seeds, known as Kala Jeera, are darker and a bit smaller. They are often confused with Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) which contains black seed oil, but they are two very different species and should not be confused or used interchangeably.
As always great quality, beautiful packaging, prompt shipment . Thank you !

High quality
I ordered ground cumin and received whole cumin by accident. Pure Indian foods told me to keep the seeds and very promptly sent me the ground. Very happy with customer service and both variations of cumin seeds are extremely fresh and quality just like all of Pure's products. Very very happy!
