Why love it

Cumin is not often used for sweet cooking, but can give a tantalising earthiness to sweet-savoury bakes.

Match with

Sweet fruit: mango, apricot, date

Tart fruit: lemon, lime, tamarind

Spice & herb: coriander seed, lemongrass, orange blossom, mint

Sweet: honey, brown sugar

Extract the flavour

Cumin demands toasting before grinding to release its earthy aromas. If you buy ground cumin, it will already have been toasted.
