What the AI looks for in Caraway Seed
- Whole seed
- Buy whole. Caraway is almost always used whole or freshly cracked. Ground caraway is rarely called for and stales fast.
- Freshness
- Seeds should be brown with pale ridges and smell strongly when crushed. The carvone aroma is what defines caraway's flavor.
- Not cumin
- Check the label carefully. In some languages caraway and cumin share similar names. The two look similar but taste very different.
Brands that matter
- Simply Organic: Organic jar.
- Frontier Co-op: Bulk sizes.
- McCormick: Widely available.
