Did you know that...

  • The caraway plant (Carum carvi) is a member of the carrot family, that it is related to coriander and cumin and it is also known as meridian fennel and Persian cumin?
  • Caraway is native to central Europe and then spread to other parts of Europe, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Both the roots and the seeds are edible. If you ever get your hands on some, the roots can be cooked just like carrots. 
  • Caraway seeds are highly aromatic and have a distinctive earthy anise flavor!
