DNV presents to you this pure & natural Cumin Powder, also known as Jeera Masala, from our range of delicious Natural Spice collection.

Cumin (Jeera) belongs to the parsley family. Cumin has been used in cooking since ancient times. It was originally grown in Iran and the Mediterranean region. To grow, cumin needs a daytime temperature of around 30 degrees Celsius and long hot summers of three to four months. It is bought either as seeds, or as a powder. It is readily available, and is widely used in India dishes. Cumin has a rather nutty aroma, and tastes bitter rather than hot. In cooking, cumin is usually toasted in a frying pan before use. The pan is hot and dry, without oil, and when toasted, cumin seeds release a strong aroma.
