This rare and delicious wild cumin only grows in the Hindu Kush mountains and is hand-picked by Afghan foragers. The rocky, arid terrain causes this scrappy and undomesticated cumin to be small, compact, and bursting with warm, umami flavor. Beloved by local Afghan cooks, this is undoubtedly close to the cumin flavor that our Mediterranean ancestors fell so in love with thousands of years ago!

Special Tips As with domesticated cumin, toast before grinding, or fry in oil at the start of cooking.
