This is a highly aromatic spice used in Indian, Arabian, and Mexican cuisine. Since it is a popular medicine in Chinese and Indian traditional medicinal practices, cumin is also used as a herbal treatment for various ailments. Moreover, it has a great content of major nutrients, making it one of the superfoods.

Cumin seeds are rich in minerals like iron, copper, calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium, manganese, selenium, etc.
*Uses of cumin seeds*
Cumin is the major component in preparation for curries, soups, stews, lentil porridges, etc. The spice has a highly intense aroma that goes perfectly well with savoury dishes. Cumin seeds are often fried or dry roasted to release their aroma before putting them in tempering or seasoning.
This spice can also be used as ground, without roasting or other spices to make a condiment. Cumin is one of the main ingredients in Baharat (Middle East), Garam Masala & Panch Phoran (India), and Ras el hanout (Morocco) spice mixes.
*Shelf life of cumin*
Whole cumin seeds can retain their flavour for up to 4 years when stored with care. So store them in an airtight container on your pantry shelves or refrigerator.
However, cumin powder has a very short shelf life and can go stale in just 6 months. Hence you have to be very careful while storing this spice. Store ground cumin in an airtight container in cool, dark, and dry places.
