Terre Exotique Whole Cumin Seeds 500g Ingredients

Terre Exotique’s cumin seeds are a hot, sweet and bitter spice for Indian cookery. Originally grown in the Middle East, cumin was popular for smoking or flavouring food. Before it’s fully ripe, the fruit is cut, hung to dry out, beaten like wheat, then left to dry in the sun.

Nowadays, cumin is a key spice in Indian food, and a fantastic pairing with chickpeas, lentils and potatoes. Add to spiced fritters, curries and aloo chaat. Alternatively, sprinkle over flatbreads and serve with hummus, or pair with nuts, sesame and fennel seeds to make a batch of dukkah. 

This 500g bag is ideal for home and professional kitchens – the cumin comes in opaque packaging, protecting it from light and preserving the fresh flavour, while the flat base makes it easy to store.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in pouches – the opaque packaging preserves the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
