How to Use Organic Cumin Seeds
Cumin seeds release their best flavour when lightly toasted in a dry pan or tempered in hot oil at the start of cooking. This technique helps bring out their warm aroma before adding vegetables, pulses or grains. They can also be ground into cumin powder for spice blends such as garam masala, curry powder or taco seasoning. Cumin seeds pair particularly well with lentils, beans, roasted vegetables and rice dishes.
Nutritional Benefits
Cumin seeds contain naturally occurring plant compounds and antioxidants along with trace minerals such as iron, magnesium and calcium. Iron contributes to normal energy metabolism and red blood cell formation. Although spices are typically consumed in small quantities, cumin seeds can still add beneficial micronutrients while enhancing the flavour of meals without adding excess calories.

Some nice cooking suggestions and recipes on this page. I love creating my own unique Indian dishes by mixing my own spices in combinations that I like. It is very good to be able to buy spices in larger amounts at better prices when you use them a lot.
