Description

Botanical:
Scientific name: Carum carvi
Family: Apiaceae

Standardized: Caraway Seed

Caraway, also known as meridian fennel and Persian cumin, is a biennial plant in the family Apiaceae, native to western Asia, Europe, and North Africa. The plant is similar in appearance to other members of the carrot family, with finely divided, feathery leaves with thread-like divisions, growing on 20–30 cm stems.

OVERVIEW
Warming and aromatic, caraway is often used as a spice in culinary dishes and baking recipes. It is especially popular in rye breads, cabbage dishes, and pickles, but it can also be found in teas and liqueurs, imparting a distinctive flavor. Carum carvi is a common ingredient in Indian, Dutch, German, Russian, and Scandinavian cooking. Caraway seeds can be used whole or freshly ground before use.

The warming and aromatic “seeds” of the caraway plant are used to give a distinctive flavor to rye bread, cabbage, soups, pickles, teas, liqueurs, and spirits. Caraway is said to have been used in Europe longer than any other condiment. A more aromatic and bitter alternative to cumin, caraway is key to Indian, Dutch, German, Russian, and Scandinavian cooking. Although it has an affinity to cooked cabbage and coleslaw, a little ground caraway added at the end of cooking (to avoid bitterness) will add a pleasant and unexpected taste to both sweets and savories.

SUMMARY
The process of heating anise in baked goods releases compounds that act as very mild stimulants. The anethole released in grinding and baking slows the decay of the baked goods that otherwise might result from fungi or molds. Anise is also used to flavor many herbal remedies.
