\"Cumin\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Cumin<\/b> is a common ingredient in many Southwestern, Mexican, North African, Mediterranean, Indian and Asian dishes. It is a flowering plant that produces a tiny fruit containing a single seed. Did you know cumin is a stimulant as well as a great herb for digestive disorders and as an antiseptic of sorts that can help relieve symptoms of the common cold? It is rich in iron and thought to help stimulate the secretion of enzymes from the pancreas which can help absorb nutrients into the system. It also boosts the power of the liver’s ability to detoxify the human body. Recent studies show that cumin seeds have anti-carcinogenic properties, reducing the risk of stomach and liver tumors (still in research).<\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n
