It was convenient. I use cumin regularly.

That smells coming out of the seeds while grinding is so fresh & taste is super great 👍

These cumin seeds are carefully packaged in sturdy light-blocking packaging with a zip top. The seeds have a good fragrance and when toasted in oil have the characteristic earthy, warm flavor. They're good-quality pantry-staple level spices.

Mine came in a thick mylar bag. There was a pull strip on the front of the bag to open it (don't make the mistake of cutting off the top!) There is a zipper type seal under the pull strip you can use to reseal the bag and keep it fresh. I think this is a good value for a pound of seeds and will last a long time.The cumin has a strong aroma and seems fresh. I tried it out by taking a teaspoon of the seeds, toasting them in my frying pan to bring out the flavor and then grinding them up into a turkey burger along with some paprika. The end result was a very flavorful turkey burger! I think next time I may use a bit more than a teaspoon because a teaspoon of seeds doesn't equal a teaspoon of powder when it's ground up.If you need to grind up the seeds, a mortar and pestle is best for a small amount. You can also grind them against a cutting board with the back of a spoon. If you want to grind up a lot at once, an electric coffee grinder or spice grinder is better.It's a great seasoning for a lot of food, if you're using it in something that cooks/simmers for a while you probably don't need to toast or grind it first.

We use cumin in all kinds of dishes, but we usually get it pre-ground, and by the time we hit the bottom of the bottle it has lost a bit of its zing. These seeds are well packed, and by keeping what we don’t in the near-term vac-sealed, they last a long time. I can grind it in a pestle fresh, and it really jumps out in our dishes.

This is a large package of raw whole cumin seeds. They come in a vacuum sealed pouch, which is resealable. I use a lot of cumin while I cook since I enjoy the flavor. It's so nice to get some fresh cumin. I just tossed all the old and will be replacing it with this. These seeds are very aromatic and flavorful. I will be using this for Mexican food, lamb, hummus and Indian food. Cumin is wonderful in root vegetable dishes and soups. I like the whole seeds and do not always grind them since they offer a texture to my dishes. I think that the price is very fair for the amount you get.

I love cumin and using cumin seeds just don't do so all that much. They have a very dominate flavor if you are not careful can take over a dish. My small bag in spice cabinet is so old I don't recall when I bought it from some bulk foods. Getting this product I can clearly see my current cumin is outdated. These are fresh and inviting. However there is a TON. I could supply the very bulk food section of my local market. Thinking about sharing with family as is way too much for me. If you buy, toast on stove in a pan, then grind in coffee grinder to make ground cumin. The Mrs suggested I use the seeds in a loaf of bread???

This bag of “Herbalia Whole Cumin Seeds” is huge, 1lb is a lot of cumin seeds! The resealable bag is easy to open and seems to reseal well. Expiration date (probably should say “best by”) is 3 years in the future. Grinding some for our chicken and rice, or just gently breaking them up for our roasted potatoes, these provide a satisfying fresh scent and flavor.
