Cumin is a small, flowering, herbaceous plant from the Apiaceae family that is native to the Middle East and South Asia. Although we now think of it as a spice, cumin was once used by the ancient Egyptians during ceremonial rituals. In the Middle Ages, cumin seed was known as a symbol of love and fidelity and was often carried by brides and grooms at the wedding ceremony for good luck. Cumin Vitality deepens and enriches the flavor of Indian, North African, and Middle Eastern recipes. In addition, it may provide cleansing and detoxifying properties and support the digestive and immune systems when taken as a dietary supplement.
