Caraway

As far as spices go, I look good for my age. The Europeans have used me in cooking for over 5000 years. I'm indigenous to Asia as well as to northern and central Europe. It's no wonder that I'm largely grown in Germany, Russia and Morocco. These countries are famous for some of the tastiest sauerkraut, sausages, cheeses, cabbage, rye breads and soup dishes in the world. Holland is my biggest fan since they're the largest producer of my seeds. Why don't you try my sweet, tangy flavor in your cooking today. Hi, my name is Caraway.
