Small Seed, Enormous Flavor

You won't find a better cumin than this. Versatile and flavorful, these seeds—smaller and softer than the store-bought variety—do not have to be ground before use. Excellent when toasted to flavor stir-fries, soups, or curries.

This wild cumin is hand-picked by foragers in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan. They are tiny, oblong and black with long stems. Botanically distinct from common cumin (Cuminum cyminum), this wild mountain cumin is renowned in Afghanistan and throughout central and south Asia for its delicious flavor as well as its medicinal properties. It has a savory, penetrating aroma and bright, umami flavor evocative of grilled meats and sweet caramelized onions.

Burlap & Barrel is the only importer of wild mountain cumin from Afghanistan. Their cumin grows wild and can be considered naturally organic as no pesticides or other chemicals are used in its cultivation.
