Crushed Caraway

Crushed caraway is made by coarsely crushing the dried seeds of caraway (Carum carvi). The crushing process releases essential oils, giving the spice a more intense, warm, and slightly anise-like flavour compared to whole seeds. Caraway is a staple spice in Central European cuisine, used to season bread, rye loaves, sauerkraut, pork roasts, goulash, and potato dishes. It pairs excellently with cabbage, pork, cheese, and root vegetables. Crushed caraway releases more flavour than whole seeds, making it ideal for dry rubs and spice blends. It is also used in liqueurs such as kümmel. Store in a sealed container away from direct light.
