Whole Cumin - Espig - 15x100g

Whole cumin is one of the foundational spices in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Packaged as whole seeds, it preserves its essential oils until preparation—a decisive advantage over pre-ground versions, which oxidize quickly once the sachet is opened.

In professional kitchens, the seeds are dry-roasted for a few seconds before being crushed to create custom blends: ras el-hanout, garam masala, or lamb tagine spices. Whole, they integrate into long marinades for poultry and roasted meats, where they gradually release their fragrance. Bakers and pastry chefs also incorporate them into bread doughs, sourdough crackers, or savory shortbreads for a warm, earthy note.

For brigades with high turnover on this item, the WHOLE CUMIN 1KG - Espig offers a more economical per-kilo format. If your menu requires pre-ground cumin, the GROUND CUMIN - Espig - 20x100g usefully complements this pantry staple.
