"Cumin" (Cuminum cyminum) is a flowering plant cultivated for its small, aromatic seeds, widely used in culinary and herbal traditions. Native to the Mediterranean and South Asia, it contains bioactive compounds like cuminaldehyde and flavonoids. These constituents interact with digestive enzymes, promoting nutrient breakdown and gastrointestinal efficiency. Cumin also supports metabolic processes associated with enzymatic activity. Long valued for its versatility, it remains a fundamental spice in global cuisine and traditional wellness practices.
