Cumin (,[2][3];[2][3];[2]Cuminum cyminum) is a flowering plant in the familyApiaceae, native to the Irano-Turanian Region.[4] Its seeds – each one contained within a fruit, which is dried – are used in the cuisines of many cultures in both whole and ground form. Although cumin is used in traditional medicine, there is no high-quality evidence that it is safe or effective as a therapeutic agent.[5]
