Ground Cumin is a fragrant seasoning derived from grinding dried seeds of the Cumin plant (Cuminum cyminum). It is widely used in various cuisines around the world thanks to its strong, distinct earthy flavor that has a hint of both sweetness and bitterness. Its warm aroma with undertones of lemon and pepper makes it an essential spice in dishes like chili, curries, stews, and more. The spice is usually a brownish-yellow color and it is often roasted before being ground to intensify its versatile flavor. It adds depth and complexity to any dish it's used in, making it a must-have in any culinary enthusiast's spice rack.

Ground cumin can typically be found in the spice aisle of a grocery store.
