Now, this our first review of a spice, or of any product by Simply Organic. But, I must say that I am very excited, as their products look and seem wonderful.

This particular spice is organic Cumin by Sinply Organic. The cumin is grown in India, and is also certified Kosher! The larger package that I purchased contains 65 grams (2.31 ounces) of cumin.

Now onto the review of the product at hand!

Upon gazing at the product, I could already see the premium appearance of the packaging alone. There is a beautiful pair of leaves in the front of the package, along with the rest of the Simply Organic logo. In a minimalistic font a bit below the logo, stands the word "cumin", with the weight of the product below that. On the back if the container is additjonal product information, along with the USDA Certified Organic Seal, and the KSA (Kosher) Seal, and a barcode. The container is made out of a very stuffy, and premium-feeling glass, with a gorgeous green-metal lid.

Another great attribute of the product and it's packing is that it has two areas where you can dispense the cumin. One which you can shake, and the other which you can put a measuring spoon in, and measure how much cumin you are adding to your dish.

When you pop open the lid, you smell a delicious, detailed aroma of mainly earthiness and smokiness, and subtle spiciness. If this tastes like it smells, this will be delicious.

Now, this is a spice, and I would not highly recommend tasting this straight out of the container. Instead, I would recommend it more in dishes, rather straight. However, to get the proper description of flavor, I will now describe how it tastes on it's own.

It does taste a bit like it smells, but better. It has an earthy flavor, and has a subtle bit of spice. It also is a bit smoky, and it tastes pretty good. This is not a one-note spice, such as salt; but instead is a spice of many notes.

While I have tried cumin before in the past, this is truly the best I have ever tried. And, it is a great plus for it to be organic, like it is.

Now. If you are going to use this as most people use it, great! As I subsequently have used it in may dishes such as in our upcoming guacamole recipe, hummus, tacos, chili, salsa, sauces, dips, and more. It is a very versatile spice, and Simply Organic Cumin truly provides a delicious, yet unique flavor to any dish.

Overall, Food Review #53 Simply Organic Cumin gets a 10 out of 10!, Simply Organic Cumin is a wonderful product, and I recommend it to you all. It is very versatile, and totally tasty. It is available in stores across The United States, and Canada. And also on Amazon, here.

All in all, this has been an experience for me. This has been our first review of spice, as well as of a Simply Organic product, and there will surely be more in the future, and especially the near future.
