Cumin, with its distinctive flavour, is important in Mediterranean, Moroccan, Indian and Mexican cooking.

Small amounts of cumin added to dishes can round out the flavour and make it more full-bodied. Of course, use it in curries and in Mexican chilli con carne. Be careful when dry roasting them that you don't overheat them, as they become bitter.
