Whole Cumin (Comino Entero) is the dried fruit of the Cuminum cyminum plant, a member of the parsley family. The small, oval seeds have a strong, earthy flavor and a distinctive aroma. Cumin is an essential spice in Mexican cuisine, where it is used for achiote pastes, adobo sauces and sofritos. To enhance the flavor, toast the seeds in a dry skillet and lightly crush. Use the crushed cumin along with other spices to add bold flavor to meat marinades for fajitas or tacos, albondigas, moles and tamales. For the past 30 years, El Guapo has provided ingredients to make delicious, authentic Mexican meals for your family.
