Caraway ground 75g

description

Ground caraway has an intense, slightly bitter and spicy flavor that adds a special touch to dishes. Grinding the seeds makes the taste even more intense and aromatic, which is why it is particularly appreciated in spice cuisine. Ground caraway can be found in many traditional cuisines around the world, especially in European, Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine.

The effects of caraway were already appreciated in ancient times. The Greek physician Dioscorides described the use of caraway for digestive complaints and recommended it as a remedy. Ground caraway found its way into many medieval monastery gardens, where it was cultivated both as a spice and as a medicinal plant. In Germany and the Nordic countries in particular, ground caraway is often used to enhance the flavor of savory dishes such as sauerkraut, stews, potato dishes and breads.

Caraway belongs to the umbelliferae family and is primarily known for its positive effect on digestion. Ground caraway has the same flavor as the whole seeds, but in an even more concentrated form, which makes it particularly popular in spice blends and for quick cooking. It is often used in curry pastes, sauces or even in baked goods such as caraway rolls and bread.

Ground caraway is an extremely versatile spice that really comes into its own in hearty cuisine. Whether in a hearty stew, in fried potatoes or as an ingredient in sauces - caraway adds a spicy depth that perfectly complements the flavors. Especially in combination with vegetables or pulses, ground caraway unfolds its full aroma without overpowering the other ingredients.

For use in the kitchen, it is important to add the ground caraway just before use to preserve the aroma. Prolonged contact with heat can soften the intense flavor, which is why it is best added towards the end of the cooking process.

Our tip: Use ground cumin in an Indian dal soup or in a classic potato soup. Sprinkle it directly into the finished soup and stir it in well to release the full flavor. Ground caraway is also excellent in savory bread or bread roll doughs.
