One of my favourite savoury spices! Can't make a good chilli beef without it!

Cumin is one of my favorite spices to use. I love the wonderful aroma and taste of it.

Recently found some in the spice cabinet when I was rummaging around for ideas. I had been using ground cumin for years, so I was wondering how the seeds would be. I have a teeny-tiny pestle and mortar for spices, which I used… And wow, these little seeds were quite tough, but the aroma I got hit in the face with was surprisingly strong. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, considering how much can be lost when you store a spice as a ground-up powder. Something I've found to be useful for grinding some spices, is adding a tiny bit of salt after you've made as much progress as you can without it. I think it may help to act as an abrasive, and help the spice powder to stay somewhat separate, and keep from forming lumps in the mortar that resist grinding. I was actually looking at the color while grinding a different spice, and the thought hit me: I wonder if anyone else had discovered this trick. So I thought about how I did… I first used it to clean out my mortar, because there was some stubborn stuff in there. And so, another thought occurred to me: Is this how seasoned salt was invented? I mean… I know that salt was historically very valuable; so if someone uses it to clean out their pestle and mortar, they wouldn't want it to go to waste, so they'd likely just put that on their food, too. Then they think: Hmm, this is good! I think I'll save this for putting other food.

I have always toasted my ground cumin before use, but I will now grind my own.

probably my favorite spice.

Superb video, Glen. Thank you!

Best video about cumin on RU-vid. It explains why you have no dislikes. Great presentation and facts. I placed some seeds in soil and watching them grow.

I love cumin. One of the best spiced imo

I use this a lot one thing in especially fajitas 😋

Cumin is the Eric Roberts of spices, if you try to use it on it's own, it's not great, if it's there with other spices it makes the whole spice mix fantastic.

Sparingly?? It's a flavorful spice that adds a TON of flavor, aroma and complexity to a dish. With this... more is definitely better!
