Black cumin is the dried seed of the herb Bunium persicun. This spice is one of the most popular after black pepper.
Afghan Wild Black Cumin, foraged in the foothills of Badakhshan Province, carries strong aromas not found in farmer-grown cumin. Our black cumin grows wild in Afghanistan and is harvested in its natural state. Hence there are absolutely no chemicals, no formal irrigation, and nothing added, just nature at its best.
We work with foragers in the Badakhshan province in the northwest, ensuring they are harvested properly with winnowed seeds. When they arrive in our facility in California, we then optically sort the seeds to remove any foreign matter.
