Terre Exotique Cumin 50g

Terre Exotique’s cumin brings a hot, sweet and slightly bitter flavour to pakoras, potato curries and roasted chickpeas. Originating in the Middle East, cumin was traditionally used for smoking or flavouring food. Cumin is the fruit of the parsley plant – before it is fully ripe, the fruit is hung to dry for a few days, then beaten until it falls, then laid to dry in the sun. 

With a pungent aroma and bitter tang, cumin is fantastic for savoury dishes. Toast the seeds gently to release the flavour, then crush and use to make aloo tikki, spiced Indian potato cakes. You can also use the crushed cumin seeds alongside nigella seeds to spice roast tomatoes or add to paneer curries. 

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 tins or glass jars – with no plastic. The metal tins preserve the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
