Why Cumin is Top on my List

Cumin is the most popular spice in the world

Cumin comes from the Cuminum cyminum plant, a member of the parsley family, originating from West Asia and has warm, earthy, smoky aroma and taste, a great addition to many savoury dishes.

Cumin is full of health benefits:

• contains antioxidants and anticancer properties

• prevents heart disease

• helps blood control

• has an anti-inflammatory effect

• can support weight loss

Grinding up the seed helps you to absorb it or you can buy ground Cumin. Try toasting some Cumin seeds in a frying pan and adding to your dish or add some ground Cumin into a salad dressing. One dish I love to add Cumin to, is with smoked Tofu, adding some Cumin really brings out the smokiness in the flavour.
