Jeera

Jeera, also known as cumin seeds, is a popular spice used in kitchens worldwide for its warm, earthy aroma and distinctive flavor. These small, elongated brown seeds are obtained from the dried fruit of the Cuminum cyminum plant. Jeera is a staple in Indian cooking, used in curries, rice dishes, soups, and spice blends like garam masala. Beyond its culinary uses, it offers numerous health benefits—supporting digestion, improving metabolism, and boosting immunity. Rich in iron, antioxidants, and essential oils, jeera also helps in detoxifying the body. It can be roasted for a nuttier taste or boiled in water to make a soothing digestive drink.
