Cumin
Cumin is a very popular spice. Indian, Vietnamese, and Mexican cuisine all benefit from the flavor of the dried seed of the Cuminum cyminum plant. The Cuminum cyminum plant grows 1 to 2 feet tall and is a proud member of the parsley family.
According to some traditions, if a bride and groom keep cumin seed in their pockets all throughout their wedding day, happiness and fortune will bless their marriage forever. What a lovely thought! It would seem that spices are far more powerful than we typically give them credit.
