Every nation has its own special spices and dishes, which are handed down according to tradition, so that food could be found centuries before that. Hungarian gastronomy also has its own characteristics.
The basic ingredients of traditional Hungarian dishes include onions, garlic, and potatoes, and when it comes to spices, we often reach for cumin seeds in addition to salt and pepper.
Why you should use cumin seeds
Cumin seeds are the plant ingredient that has many health benefits.
The antioxidants it contains can help protect the body against free radicals, which can contribute to cell damage and the aging process. However, some compounds have anti-inflammatory properties, so they can help reduce inflammation and maintain a healthy immune system. It can also have an analgesic effect, so it can relieve headaches and other pain.
Not only for its taste, but also as a digestive aid. The essential oils in it can stimulate the production of digestive juices and reduce bloating. Research has already proven that it can also play a role in lowering cholesterol levels, meaning that by consuming it, we can contribute to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.
As we can still use it
We are not saying anything new by using cumin seeds as a food flavoring, but they also serve our health and delicious food in a completely different way.
