Cumin is a fragrant spice derived from the dried seeds of the Cuminum cyminum plant, native to the Mediterranean and Southwest Asia. Widely used in Middle Eastern, Indian, and Latin American cuisines, it adds a warm, earthy flavor to dishes like curries, stews, and spice blends. Rich in iron, cumin supports healthy red blood cell production and boosts energy levels. It also contains antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress, along with small amounts of magnesium, manganese, and calcium. Known for its digestive benefits, cumin may aid in reducing bloating and promote gut health. It’s low in calories and fat, making it a heart-healthy choice for seasoning. However, moderation is key, as excessive consumption could lead to mild stomach discomfort. A versatile and aromatic ingredient, cumin is a simple way to add flavor and nutrition to a balanced diet.
