Description

One of the world’s oldest cultivated spices, caraway is a relative of the carrot family. At McCormick® we carefully select our whole caraway seeds to ensure that they have bright, earthy flavor with a hint of licorice- a must for breads, pork, stews and pickling brines. Bite into a hearty slice of rye or Irish soda bread and you’ll immediately recognize the flavor of caraway- warm, sweet and slightly biting. Tannish brown and crescent-shaped, caraway seed is staple seasoning of Eastern European cuisine. It brings earthy flavor to savory recipes for goulash, borscht, sausages, potatoes and cabbage dishes. It adds a warm, sweet taste to spice cakes, cookies and scones. Toast the seeds before using to heighten the nutty, bittersweet flavor.
