Cumin whole seeds have earthy heat, nutty and floral character, and are reminiscent of dried lemon peel taste. Cumin seeds are dried by a plant called Cuminum Cyminum, a parsley family member.

It is a small and slender herbaceous plant grown in well-drained sandy loam and medium soil. Weeding is done by hand during the crop lifecycle. Harvesting of cumin is done when the plant becomes yellow-brown and done in the morning. The cut crop is dried and threshed. Winnowing separates seeds manually, and then mechanical cleaning is done before packing.
