About this plant
The fruits of Cuminum cyminum contain cuminaldehyde, an aromatic aldehyde responsible for its distinctive warm aroma, with carminative and digestive properties. One of the most traded spices in the ancient world, documented in the Ebers Papyrus and the Bible. In ancient Rome, cumin symbolised greed, and Emperor Marcus Aurelius was nicknamed Cuminus for his avarice. The second most popular spice globally after black pepper.
