Cumin is known since antiquity when it was used both as a spice for cheeses, meat dishes, and as a medicinal plant. Among the main benefits of cumin are improving the digestive system and strengthening the immune system.
Cumin (Carum carvi) is part of the Apiaceae family, which also includes the carrot. It is a plant that grows in hilly and mountainous areas, both spontaneously and in cultivated fields, bearing fruit only in the second year. Originating from the Orient, it prefers clayey, dry soils exposed to the sun. The plant has an appearance similar to dill, with finely branched leaves that grow on 20-30 cm stems, as mentioned on terapiinaturiste.ro. The fruits (incorrectly called seeds) are small achenes about 5 mm long, brown, oval, elongated, slightly curved, with a characteristic, pungent, aromatic taste and smell. Harvesting is done in May-June, just before the fruits reach maturity.
In Romania, cumin is one of the few spices that grow spontaneously, in its various varieties, found in meadows and pastures in hilly, mountain, and subalpine areas. Although omnipresent in these places, there is a major impediment for collectors: it grows very sparsely, and its fruits, which are the main part used in therapy, are much smaller than those of cultivated cumin and shake off as they ripen.
For medicinal purposes, the fruits of this plant are mainly used, in the form of infusion, decoction, powder, or tincture.
