Description
Aromatic note:Spicy
Cumin probably originated in the Mediterranean basin, more specifically the Nile Valley or Asia Minor. Its use in Egypt dates back more than five thousand years. For the Egyptians it was not just a spice for seasoning dishes; it was also used for medicinal and religious purposes.
According to ancient writings such as the Bible, cumin was used as currency to pay debts. In the Middle Ages, serfs used it as currency to buy their freedom. At that time, carrying a small bag of seeds was recommended as a charm against bad luck and witches.
It was also highly valued in Ancient Rome. The spice was associated with greed because it was consumed by the rich.
The essential oil is obtained from the seeds. Its intense aroma is true to the distinctive, unmistakable scent we know so well.

Es un aceite que consumo frecuentemente por recomendación y he de decir que es el primero que de verdad me ha gustado. Es como olor la especia directamente en cuanto destapas el frasco. Me he sorprendido de la calidad que tiene esta tienda y sobre todo el precio. Si no hubiera hablado con David no me hubiera atrevido a comprarlos, ha sido mi mejor descubrimiento del 2020!
