Cuminum cyminum

Deep malt and grass notes come out in this cousin of the more familiar "white" cumin. Seen in the same recipes as other seeds in the "jeera" family, it's a nice change of pace toward the darker, more savory side of the palate. Very common in Middle Eastern cuisine, it is often mistranslated as regular cumin or nigella (both of which are different but available here).
