它是什么？

Cumin is the dried seed of the herb Cuminum cyminum, a member of the parsley family. Cumin seeds which resemble caraway seeds, are oblong, ridged, and yellow-brown in color. Cumin seeds, known for their distinctive aroma, are popular in North African, Middle Eastern, Indian, Cuban and Northern Mexican cuisine.

Sold whole or ground, cumin seeds come in three colors: amber, white and black. Amber is most widely available, but black cumin has such a complex flavor it should not be substituted for the other two. No matter what color, these seed’s characteristic flavor and aroma comes from their essential oil which benefits from a quick frying or dry roasting.

In some cases, you can use caraway seeds (but only use about half as much), or a mix of caraway and anise seeds. Amber cumin seeds may be substituted for white cumin seeds and vice versa.

How to prep:

Toasting the whole seeds briefly before grinding expresses essential oils and brings out flavor.

How to store:

与所有香料一样，将小茴香种子远离光线和热量，并通过标记购买日期来跟踪其年龄。每六个月大约每六个月更改股票，以获取地面香料，每年为全香料更改。香料不会“不好”，但是随着年龄的增长，他们会失去效力。
