United StatesWonderful depth of flavor. I've been buying the ground version for a while and loving it, but I really do prefer whole spices. A little toast to enhance the flavor, and you're good to go! Certainly on a par with the saffron and fennel I have purchased before! (And will again!)
United StatesI've used the whole seed in a number of dishes and in some spice blends of my own design. These seeds are a little smaller than you may be used to, so make sure to grind completely. It is so fragrant, with such depth of flavor and an added, smoky dimension of cumin-ness! When you toast the seeds to use in a blend it makes the whole house smell like a spice market. I suggest you devise your own blend, and use some of the Herati coriander seed - unbelievable flavor and aroma.
Thank you!
United StatesFor the past year I have been patronizing small ethical spice companies like Rumi in order to try and do a little for the small farmers around the world. I made mejadra, a lentil dish with Rumi black cumin and coriander last week. It was spectacular due to the rich aroma and taste of these spices. This week I made it again with identical spices from another small company. The first taste was a major disappointment - no flavor of cumin or coriander! So I added the Rumi cumin and coriander and, like magic, my mejadra was back on track. I can't say enough about the quality of these Rumi spices.
Thank you!!! Send us a picture of your creations!
United StatesAn item was missing from the original shipment. After contacting Rumi Spice, it was promptly replaced. Both packages arrived very quickly.

United StatesTruly impressive aroma, and great taste. I use it in everything!

Indigenous to the Old Persian Empire, black cumin is virtually unknown outside of the Middle East. Our Black Cumin grows wild along the foothills of the Hindu Kush Mountains in Afghanistan where mountainous terroir adds an extra layer of sharp earthy and piney flavors that differentiates our cumin from the more common varieties available.
Hand-harvested Afghan foragers in this region, sourcing this exotic spice furthers our social mission of creating agricultural jobs for the people of Afghanistan.
