Cumin (Seed Packet)

Get ready for some serious flavor with Cumin, a quirky and fun herb from the Apiaceae family. Growing up to about 30cm tall in the sun, it has thin "branches" of fine leaves that are perfect for harvesting.

Look out for the small white or pink flowers that umbrella out, and when the seeds change color, it's time to dry them in a cool, airy place. For the best aroma, roast and crush the whole seed just before use.

And if you're wondering what to add it to, the answer is pretty much anything - from sausages and soups to salsas, breads, and even cheese plates.

Sowing Period:
