During the Middle Ages, cumin was thought to keep lovers from fickleness and keep chickens from leaving their yard.

The strong, earthy, slightly spicy flavor of cumin is available at Savory either freshly ground or as whole seeds. Use whole seeds in sausages, pickles, sauerkraut, soups and breads. At most good French restaurants, mild cheeses are served with a little dish of cumin seeds and pepper. As with all seeds, roasting them will bring out their full aromatic flavor.
