Cumin is well-loved around the world for adding a warm, earthy taste to dishes. McCormick Cumin Seed brings smoky, nutty flavor to family-favorite chili, tacos and curries. Cumin is a signature flavor in Mexican recipes for tamales, enchiladas and much more. You’ll find it starring in Tex-Mex and Southwestern dishes, as well. Across the Middle East, the spicy flavor of cumin infuses many traditional recipes, especially those made with lentils, eggplant and lamb. We love the hearty depth it brings to chickpeas, whether in falafel or hummus.
