Cumin comes to us from the Middle East and it was known to the first Egyptians. Its very particular fragrance makes that it enters the composition of many mixtures of spices. The Germans, for their part, make it an alcohol, the kummel, and the Indians use it abundantly, among others in rice, bread, marinades and vegetables. In other words, if you need to enhance a dish, cumin is the perfect ingredient, but in small doses so as not to overwhelm the other flavors.
