Our Wild Black Cumin Seeds are wild foraged in the mountains of Afghanistan giving them an extra warmth and pungency. Consider them cumin’s slightly more robust relative that you can use regularly or toast in oil to bring out its nutty, earthy and meaty flavors that its known for.
Note: Some of these clearance items may have a 'Best By' date of 2023; however, this is not an expiration date. The spices are still able to be used, and flavor will stay fresh for up to 2 years after opening.

Origin & Sourcing
Badakhshan, Afghanistan
In the steep and jagged Hindu Kush Mountants of Afghanistan, a rare and ancient varietal of cumin—a botanical cousin to the common variety—grows wildly, and according to Milkstreet, black cumin derives its extra warmth and pungency from its “native terroir.” Local villagers handpick these highly climate-resilient seeds, rarely seen outside of local communities until recently, by hand and dry them under the blistering Afghan sun to concentrate flavors even more. We work with Roots of Peace, an organization that helps the communities of war-torn areas prosper through agricultural export.
