Miras Cumin Ground
Miras cumin is produced in Iran, Syria, India and Turkey. The plant grows best in sandy, drained soil and in areas with a warm climate, such as on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. We use the cumin seeds in particular, which have a very strong aroma. This aroma becomes even stronger when they are roasted in a dry pan before use and then ground. In Turkey, this spice is also used in çörek (Turkish pastries) and pastirma, a type of cured sausage similar to the Spanish chorizo sausage but extremely spicy. Miras cumin is also the preferred seasoning for certain Turkish dishes.
