Cumin – what is it?

Cumin [Latin: Nigella sativa] is a plant commonly found in South-Eastern Europe and Western Asia. The raw material of the herb is its small, black and oily seeds. Their aroma, when rubbed, is somewhat reminiscent of oregano. Cumin is a seed plant belonging to the buttercup family. Its special feature is its characteristic blue flowers, which often decorate garden beds and enrich bouquets. However, it has gained worldwide popularity for its seeds, which are used as a spice and medicinal raw material. They are hidden in what is commonly known as the bellows, and are sometimes called black cumin because of their appearance and taste.

It is interesting to note that cumin can act as a substitute for pepper in cooking for people who have a sensitive stomach, as this plant does not irritate its mucous membrane. For this reason, like pepper, cumin has a very rich culinary application. It perfectly enhances the taste of meats such as mutton, lamb, game or poultry. It enriches a variety of vegetable dishes made from cabbage, courgettes or other roasted vegetables. Recently, it has gained particular popularity as an addition to white cheeses, so be sure to try a good Korycin cheese with this wonderful seasoning!
