Cumin is an aromatic, herbaceous plant valued for both its flavorful seeds and ornamental appeal.

Cumin features delicate, feathery foliage with finely divided leaves that give off a faint, pleasant aroma. As the plant matures, it produces small, clustered white or pink flowers atop its stems, eventually forming elongated, spindle-shaped fruit pods containing the sought-after cumin seeds.

Cumin seeds, the primary attraction of the plant, are small and oblong with a ridged surface, offering a rich, warm scent and a robust, slightly bitter flavor profile.
