   HISTORY FROM "GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

The Latin name of the herb is Cuminum cyminum. The oldest certified form of the word in Greek belongs to the Mycenaean culture. There, we read the word "ku-mi-no" in Linear B syllabic writing.

Its use dates back to ancient times. The archeological dig in India has brought to light seeds dating from the second millennium BC. !

In Egypt, cumin was used not only as a spice but also as a preservative in embalming. In fact, many times the dead of Egyptian civilization were buried with spice grains to make their afterlife more fragrant!

The ancient Greeks always had it on their table in a container, just like pepper! From a therapeutic point of view, they used more the black cumin, which they called "Melanthion". In Minoan Crete, however, there are many ideograms that refer to cumin, especially in the palace warehouses to record their stocks!

References to cumin are also found in the Old Testament and the New Testament, testifying to its importance.

Finally, its presence in Asia Minor cuisine is very important, as one of its main ingredients. Finally, in Indian gastronomy it has been used for thousands of years as a traditional ingredient as the basis of other spice blends.
