Cumin Seed Oil
Description
Cumin seed essential oil is a super spicy oil that needs to be handled with care. In the past I have spilled this material when decanting and boy oh boy that smell refused to go away. The smell is simply like smelling cumin seeds one cooks with spicy, warming, dry and a tad green. In minute amounts blends well with black pepper, curry leaf and ginger. Produced by steam distilling the seeds, yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.
