Appearance & Aroma
Elongated, narrow seeds with a smooth, dry surface; medium to bold, uniform grading; free-flowing, non-clumping. Natural brownish-green colour with good lustre, suitable for whole seed use and grinding into fine powder.
Strong, warm, earthy aroma preferred by international buyers. Cumin does not use an SHU rating like chillies — essential oil content (2%–4%) is the accepted pungency/aroma indicator.
