Looking for spices?
Cumin
Throughout the world, cumin is second in popularity only to black pepper. Americans tend to use it mostly for chili, but its pungent flavor is a must in Indian, Mexican, Asian, Northern African, Middle Eastern and Latin American cooking. It is gaining popularity here in America as various international dishes become more commonplace in our kitchens, and our tastes for Mexican foods increase, as both salsa and tacos are heavily seasoned with cumin. Here at Penzeys, we grind our cumin fresh in small lots to a very fine 40 mesh, which has given us national acclaim. Even our most demanding "old country" customers, who would never dream of ordering ground spices, have begun using our ground cumin, since it is such a fine, fresh powder. The high-oil Iranian cumin is still not available due to the U.S. Government's ban on trade with Iran.
