Cumin
Cumin is indigenous to the Middle East and has an aroma which is pungent, warm and earthy. Cumin can be either ground or whole. Most recipes typically call for dry-roasting cumin seeds or powder as this brings out a pleasant and nutty flavor and reduces some of the bitterness. Cumin combines well with most other spices.
