Egyptian Story
Cumin (kamoon) is one of Egypt’s most important spices.
It appears on every table beside salt and pepper and is essential in lentil soup, ful, fish dishes, and kofta.
Ancient Egyptians used cumin for cooking, medicine, and rituals — a tradition that continues today.
Usage
-
Add to ful medames
-
Season fish, especially fried or grilled tilapia
-
Use in lentil soup (shorbet ads)
-

-
Toast lightly before grinding for stronger flavour
Warm, earthy spice with a slightly bitter edge.
Toast and grind for lentil soups, ful medames and vegetable dishes.
Cumin is used in small amounts as a flavouring and is part of the normal spice mix in many savoury dishes.
The smell of cumin frying in a little oil is often the first sign that ful or lentil soup is on the way.
