Cumin seeds (jeera)
Cumin seeds, also known as jeera, are small, crescent-shaped seeds derived from the Cuminum cyminum plant. They are widely used as a spice in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mexican dishes. Cumin seeds contain essential oils such as cuminaldehyde, which gives them their distinctive aroma and flavor. These essential oils contribute to the overall taste profile of cumin and are responsible for its warm, earthy, and slightly bitter taste. While cumin seeds are not a significant source of protein, they do contain small amounts of plant-based protein, making them a minor but valuable addition to a balanced diet.

Antioxidants may help lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
