Besides being used for medicinal purposes like for proper digestion and nutrient assimilation, healing of stitches and pain, cumin seed and powder are essential ingredients in many mixed spices, chutneys and chili and curry powders. They give a distinctive warm flavor to an enormous range of savory dishes and are especially popular in Asian, North African and Latin American cuisines.
