Chef's Notes:
Cumin is frequently used in Mexican cooking. But its earthy, nutty aroma and slightly bitter, spicy flavor complement many foods. Cumin keeps its flavor best when stored as whole seed in an airtight container. For fullest flavor, grind or crush the seeds just before adding to a recipe.
