Whole cumin seeds is one of the most widely used spices worldwide, and it's no wonder given its sweet, earthy, and nutty aroma—it's a staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, North African, and Latin American cuisines. Cumin is not only used in cooking but has also been used as an aphrodisiac and to aid with digestion. To produce a toasted, nutty taste, dry roast your cumin seeds in a skillet before using them. Toasted cumin seeds may be added to salads, soups, and breads. You can also ground and add cumin to your next taco, hummus, curry, or chili.
