Is it “KYOO-men?” “KOO-min?”
How do you say cumin? I’m team “KYOO-men” but that seems to be the more popular pronunciation in the UK, while the US trends more toward “koo-min”. Either way, this spice has found its place in my own kitchen as a staple in everything from tacos, stews and curries to Cuban mojos. It’s extremely versatile.
Why is Cumin so popular?
Did you know that cumin is the second most used spice in the world, only second to pepper? The warm, nutty and spicy flavor adds depth to any dish, and is popular spice in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian cooking. It’s been used since nearly the beginning of time dating back ancient Mesopotamia in the oldest recipes ever recorded. It’s also a very poplar spice in vegan and vegetarian cuisine due to the rich, earthy flavors that can add depth to vegetables.
