{"product_id":"kymino-olokliro-akopo","title":"Whole Cumin – Cuminum cyminum","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhole Cumin\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eCuminum cyminum\u003c\/em\u003e) consists of whole cumin seeds, with a warm, earthy and intensely aromatic profile. Its form makes it suitable for legumes, curries, meat, rice, breads and spice blends. Proper use depends on taste, intensity and the specific recipe, not on general assumptions about all herbs or spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdentity and raw material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical name \u003cem\u003eCuminum cyminum\u003c\/em\u003e helps distinguish this particular plant from other raw materials that may have a similar common name. With natural products, small variations in color, size, aroma and texture from batch to batch are to be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAroma and flavor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts characteristic profile is warm, earthy and intensely aromatic. Its intensity is affected by freshness, particle size and how long the product is exposed to air. For best results, open the package only as needed and use a clean, dry utensil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePractical uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt pairs well with legumes, curries, meat, rice, breads and spice blends. When trying a new recipe, start with a conservative amount and adjust after tasting. Strongly aromatic ingredients are easier to add gradually than to balance out once too much has been used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhole and ground forms\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhole and ground products from the same plant do not behave exactly alike. The powder disperses immediately and has a larger surface area, while the whole form often releases its aromas more gradually and can be ground just before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePairings\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best choice of accompanying spices depends on the dish. In savory applications, build the blend around the main ingredient; in sweet preparations, pay attention to balance so that one strong aroma does not overpower vanilla, fruit or chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a related option, you can also see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/koliandros-olokliros-akopos\"\u003eWhole Coriander\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf using a whole spice, it may be lightly toasted only when the recipe calls for it, taking care not to burn it. If using powder, avoid inhaling it and do not sprinkle it from a great height over a steaming pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore tightly sealed in a dry, cool and dark place, away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat. Ground products usually lose their volatile aromas faster than whole ones, so keeping the package tightly sealed is especially important.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the product in the amounts required for the culinary application or as directed on the package.
