Ground Cumin
Ground cumin is used as a spice for their distinctive aroma, popular in North African, Middle Eastern, Western Chinese, Indian, Cuban and Mexican cuisine. Its distinctive flavor is due to its essential oil content. Cumin is used to season many dishes and is identified most with Indian and Mexican cuisine. Makes a wonderful addition to curries, tacos, enchiladas, and any Tex-Mex dishes.
Whole Blanched Almonds
Fresh California whole almonds without the skin are excellent for all baking needs.
