Big container alert: our new Ground Wild Mountain Cumin is now available in our best-value big containers! This unique variety of cumin is wild-grown and hand-picked by foragers in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan, then roasted and ground in small batches by a team of women in Kabul. To ensure freshness of fragrance and flavor, we currently have a limited release of 200 containers featuring this newest harvest. | | Wild Mountain Cumin has flavors so complex, it’s the spice that inspired the founding of Burlap & Barrel. We are the only US importer of this special spice from Afghanistan. Ground Wild Mountain Cumin undergoes a roasting process that evolves its already extraordinary bright and savory notes into sweeter, nuttier territory. | |
As one 5-star review notes, “I can never use store bought cumin again…Only advice is to buy the large size as the small one just can't last."
| |
We are aiming to source 10 tons (!!) of Wild Mountain Cumin this year, as it forms the flavor backbone of many of our fan-favorite blends, like Low & Slow Chili Powder, Yo Quiero Taco, Sazón and Vindaloo Masala (plus even more new upcoming house blends 👀). Stay tuned to see what comes next!
| | Kristina's Spice Recommendation "I make a leek chicken soup, and my hack is to use Kashmiri Masala and olive oil to marinate the chicken before I bake it, then shred it, to add to the soup. It adds flavor and depth but doesn't overpower the traditional chicken soup herbs." | | | | Questions? Feedback? Ideas? We love to hear from you. Just reply to this email.
