Acclaimed as an herb of the stomach, Cumin is a well-known digestive

stimulant and appetizer.  It has the often-needed needed effect of dissipating gas from complex carbohydrates like dals.  It gives character to almost every curry, lentil or chutney. Cumin is cooling to the body despite its pungency.  

Use ground Cumin in soups, stews or try adding it to lemon or lime based marinades. Heat cumin and garlic in olive oil and drizzle over steamed vegetables.

The Cumin flavor is accentuated by toasting.
