Cumin, pronounced “khu-min”, Cuminum cyminum, is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae. Other members of this family include anise, caraway, coriander, dill and fennel. … Today, cumin is also grown in Argentina, Iran and Mexico. Cumin seeds are oval shaped and elongated with a ridged surface.
cumin is a drought-resistant, tropical, or subtropical crop that prefers dry warm climates. It grows best in temperature ranges between 77° to 86°F and depending on the variety has a growing season of 100 – 120 days. Optimum cultivation conditions are a long, hot summer that last 3-4 months. The plant produces small white or pink flowers that grow in clusters on short stems, looking like small umbrellas.
Cumin seeds are harvested about 4 months after planting, when the plant starts to wilt and the seeds’ color changes from dark green to a brownish yellow. The seeds are harvested by removing the whole plant from the ground. The plant is then laid in thin piles to dry in the full or partial sun.
