Carum carvi The fruits, usually used whole, have a pungent, anise-like #flavour and #aroma that comes from essential oils, mostly carvone, limonene, and anethole. #Caraway was mentioned by the early Greek botanist Pedanius Dioscorides as a #herb and #tonic. Caraway is used in #breads, #desserts, #liquors, #casseroles, and other #foods. Caraway is used as #remedy to cure #indigestion, #pneumonia, and as #carminative, #appetizer, and #galactagogue in different traditional systems. Caraway is traditionally used for symptomatic relief of #digestive #disorders (#bloating and #flatulence).

Sold by the gram. Please bring or order a bag.

You can bring your own container if you are picking up. Please make sure that you bring bottles for liquids and wide-mouthed jars or bags for solids and herbs. Please make sure that the containers you bring are the right size. To use your container for oils, the bottle must be exactly the right size because I will be filling your order by volume. A 1000mL J jar, not a quart jar. In case of shorting due to metric versus imperial measures, I may fill your container right to the top, your measure might be short, or I may ask you to buy an extra container.
