Omega Caraway Seed: warm, anise-like seeds for rye bread, cabbage dishes, goulash and harissa. Single 1 kg pack.
Caraway seeds are small, curved seeds with a warm, slightly anise-like flavour. They are classic in rye bread, soda bread, sauerkraut, coleslaw, goulash and roast potatoes, and they appear in North African harissa and Middle Eastern sweets such as meghli. Toast them lightly in a dry pan to bring out their aroma, then use whole or grind them. A teaspoon is plenty for a loaf or a pot of stew. Caraway, sometimes called meridian fennel, is a biennial plant of the Apiaceae family, native to western Asia, Europe and North Africa. Keep the seeds whole in a closed jar and grind just before use, since ground caraway fades quickly. In Tunisia caraway is pounded with chilli, garlic and coriander for harissa, and in Germany it seasons rye bread and braised red cabbage, so a large pack goes a long way in a busy kitchen.
