CARAWAY

* RESEALABLE BAG *

COMPOSITION : CARAWAY.

HISTORY :

Caraway is one of the oldest spices in the world. The first traces of the plant can be found in the Neolithic period.

In ancient times, the pharaohs used it to embalm mummies, as it was supposed to ward off evil spirits. It was also used mystically in the composition of love potions. But it was the Romans, who liked it and consumed a lot of it, who made it known to other peoples.

It arrived in Northern Europe in the 13th century, where it is still a coveted spice today.

PROPERTIES :

Buying caraway is a good idea because it makes your food more digestible. It soothes colic in babies.

Its consumption in seeds or infusion is recommended as an antispasmodic and in case of inappetence, nervous dyspepsia, gastric spasms or aerophagia.

KITCHEN :

Take advantage of our online caraway sale. Stronger in aroma than cumin, with which it is often confused, this little spice spices up both sweet and savoury dishes. Hungarians, Austrians and Germans use it in their bread and cake recipes. In France, it is used to flavour the famous Alsatian sauerkraut. Its pungent taste goes well with all types of cabbage.

The root forms a trifecta with root vegetables such as carrots and turnips.

For meat, think of pork or mutton or game such as duck or goose. Don't forget the leaves, chopped they will give a unique flavour to your salads and soups.

You can buy ground or whole caraway.
