Whole Organic Caraway Seeds (4-6 mm)

Whole organic caraway seeds from Lithuania are a high-quality spice known for their intense, warm aroma and mildly sweet, earthy flavor. Caraway seeds (not to be confused with ground cumin) are versatile seeds with a wide range of culinary uses and are among the oldest known spices.

By the way, did you know that caraway seeds are technically not seeds, as commonly believed, but rather the fruits of the caraway plant?

Using Caraway Seeds

Whole caraway seeds are ideal for baking bread, making pastries, stews, vegetable dishes, and pickled foods. Their aroma imparts a distinctive and pleasant flavor to dishes that many people enjoy and some find nostalgically appealing. Additionally, cumin seeds are often used in various spice blends, such as the famous curry powder or spice pastes.

Cumin seeds can also be used to make medicinal tea or extract by adding 2-3 teaspoons of whole cumin seeds to half a liter of boiling water. This is an excellent tea for weight loss and boosting overall energy. As a drug, caraway is thought to improve digestion and reduce gas, bloating and heartburn.
