Green Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) is a widely used spice and medicinal herb known for its strong aroma, slightly bitter and pungent taste. It is commonly used in cooking, traditional medicine, and pharmaceutical industries due to its numerous health benefits.
Green cumin is valued for its carminative (anti-bloating), digestive-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and weight management properties. These small, aromatic seeds aid digestion and are often included in various dishes, spice blends, herbal teas, and natural remedies. Due to its antioxidants and active compounds, green cumin plays a significant role in improving metabolism and reducing bloating.
In Persian cuisine, green cumin is used in dishes such as polo (rice dishes), stews, pickles, and traditional bread. Additionally, cumin tea is a popular herbal drink known for its weight-loss benefits, stomach-strengthening effects, and digestive support.
