Steenbergs organic cumin seeds are 5mm in kength, tapered at both ends, slightly curved and measure about 2mm thick.  Steenbergs organic cumin seeds range in colour from pale brown to khaki and have a dullish looking colour to them.  Each organic cumin seed has about 9 fine ridges along its length and a hair like tail.  The aroma of organic cumin is pungent, warm, earthy, lingering and sweet, while the flavour of organic cumin is pungent, warming, earthy and slightly - but pleasantly - bitter.


Suggested uses:
