Cumin is an aromatic herb with feathery foliage and small pinkish flowers. The seeds are used as a spice, both whole and powdered, and is second only to black pepper as the most popular spice across all continents. Its earthy, nutty, slightly bitter flavor is used extensively in traditional North African, Indian, and Mexican cuisines. Thrives in hot, dry conditions. The leaves and flowers are also edible, and can be used to add unique flavor to salads and pickling brines.

  • Earthy, nutty, flavor
  • Heat and drought tolerant
  • Grows 8"-12" tall
  • Good for containers

As a companion plant, it attracts pollinators and beneficial insects.

As a medicinal herb, Cumin seed has been used internally to treat bloating, colic, cough, fever, flatulence, headache, indigestion, insomnia, pain, restlessness, stomach upset, and weight issues, and externally to treat skin problems and toothache.

They are great!
They grew very well as microgreens. In fact, after trying our first small batch, we ordered a pound of the seeds and just received them today!

Poor germination
Planted in greenhouse but very poor germination(maybe less than 10%). Have replanted so will see if there was a reason (some error on my part?) or if seed is just not great. Fingers crossed!

Great Customer Service
I accidentally forgot to add my promo code discount at the end of my transaction and quickly inquired if it was still possible to apply it. The customer service was so quick and polite and a refund of the discount was quickly given. Amazing! Great Service!
