Cumin

Cuminum cyminum, Heirloom. Cumin is a warm-season annual herb grown for its highly aromatic seeds, widely used in global cuisines including Mexican, Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean dishes. The plant produces delicate, feathery foliage and small white to pinkish flowers that later develop into the flavorful cumin seeds used whole or ground.

Cumin thrives in hot, sunny conditions and is best grown outdoors once temperatures are consistently warm. With patience and proper heat, home gardeners can successfully grow and harvest their own cumin spice.
