Cumin (Cuminum cyminum)
Many popular East Indian dishes are flavoured with the beautiful blush, pink flowers of the wonderfully fragrant Cumin plants! The beautiful foliage has a strong dill-like aroma. The young leaves of this herb go well in salads. Cumin grows best in warmer climates, but if planted early enough in cooler northern climates, it will produce seeds.
