Harvesting

Organic cumin is typically grown in regions with a warm climate, such as India, Turkey, and the Middle East. The cumin plant produces small white or pink flowers, which eventually develop into small oblong seeds. These seeds are harvested in the summer months when they have reached full maturity and have turned a warm brown colour. The seeds are then carefully collected and dried to preserve their rich flavour and aroma. Once dried, the seeds are ground into a fine powder, resulting in the characteristic deep brown colour of organic ground cumin. This versatile spice is known for its earthy, nutty flavour with a hint of citrus, making it a popular addition to a wide range of dishes.

Organic ground cumin is naturally rich in iron, manganese, and other essential nutrients, making it a valuable addition to a balanced diet. Its natural composition provides a range of health benefits, including aiding digestion and promoting overall well-being. As a result, it is a sought-after ingredient in both culinary and holistic health practices.

The organic nature of Organic Ground Cumin means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Ground Cumin in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
