Badakhshan — Afghanistan

Item #4026 - 1.6oz
Item #4015 - 1lb

This wild cumin, Bunium persicum, is harvested by foragers in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan and, while it’s in the same plant family as common cumin, it’s a different species. The small seeds taste like they’ve been roasted, and they add a bright umami flavor to any dish. Burlap & Barrel is the only importer of these special seeds, usually used only by locals. (VE, GF)
