Cumin is one of the most widely used spices in the world. Its strong flavour comes from highly aromatic seeds. In a good hot summer, cumin will produce a wide, robust umbel of tiny white flowers, followed by the unmistakable seeds. While in bloom, cumin joins its cousins cilantro, caraway, and dill as highly prized food sources for a host of beneficial insects, and will attract ladybird beetles, lacewings, hover flies, and a wide range of predatory wasps.
