Kummin, hel - Kumina, kokonainen

Caraway, also known as meridian fennel and Persian cumin have a pungent, anise-like flavor and aroma that comes from essential oils. Caraway is used as a spice in breads, especially rye bread but  also in desserts, liquors, casseroles, and other foods.

Finland supplies about 28% (2011) of the world's caraway production. Caraway cultivation is well suited to the Finnish climate and latitudes, which ensure long hours of sunlight in the summer. This results in fruits that contain higher levels of essential oils than those produced elsewhere.

Some of the potential caraway seeds benefits include increased weight loss, decreased blood sugar and improved digestive health. They are also a great source of several important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them an excellent addition to a well-balanced, healing diet.
