Cumin seeds look like a caraway seed but are a bit longer and boat-shaped. They have a distinctive warm earthy flavor with mild bitter undertones and an aroma that wafts around as hints of lemon.
In Indian cuisine, cumin seeds are used for tempering when cooking a curry or stir fry. They are typically the first ingredient added to hot oil so the flavor infuses in the oil.
Store cumin seeds in a dry cool place in your pantry away from direct light. If storing cumin seeds for a long time, it is best to freeze them to maintain their flavor and aroma.
