Product Description
Popular Spice Cumin is a plant that has been used for centuries to flavor food and make it great tasting! Cumin (Cuminum Cyminum) Cumin seeds can be planted to produce a delightful little herb plant that has fine, divided, aromatic leaves. The flowers are small and white, sometime slightly pink. Cumin is one of the oldest known herbs to be cultivated as both a medicinal herb and as a culinary herb. It was at one time widely used as a culinary herb throughout Europe, but today, the similar yet milder caraway has taken its place. However, the Cumin herb is still used in Mexican foods and in the curry powder mixture that is in Indian foods. Annual Herb How to Grow Cumin needs a long, warm growing season for the seeds to be ready to harvest. Start the herb seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before the last expected frost of the season. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1/4". Keep them moist until germination, which will occur in 1-2 weeks under proper conditions. Once seedlings are established and all danger of frost has passed, they can be transplanted directly outdoors. To harvest, cut the entire plant when the seeds are ripe. Tie the stems together and place the heads in a paper bag with air holes. Hang upside down in a warm, well-ventilated place to dry the seeds.

Product Features
Cumin is a small, slender, annual herb, with grass-like leaves and small white flowers. The cumin herb seeds are used in many international cuisines. The flavor of cumin resembles that of caraway, but is hotter.
Cumin is an 8 - 16 inch tall annual growing in USDA zones 5 - 10.
Cumin seed was once widely used as a food flavoring in Europe, the Romans ground it into a powder and used it like pepper. Store the whole cumin seeds in a sealed jar, preferably glass, and keep it in a warm, dry cupboard
Grind the seeds only when they are required in a recipe, not before because they will lose their strength. While it is difficult to measure, keep the moisture content within the jar low. If moisture gathers on the inside of the jar, remove the cumin and re-dry the seeds in the sun.
Sowing Rate 7 - 10 seeds per plant. Cumin herb plants require long, warm growing seasons, so start indoors in colder climates.
