Spice Classics Ground Cumin, 4.5 lb - One 4.5 Pound Container of Bulk Ground Cumin Powder, Season Burritos, Enchiladas, Tacos, Meat and More

Great item to purchase in bulk. It was fresh and tasted great.

Great price

Good taste for bbq, and very convenient bottle

product was just what I needed

I like this product. Nice color, aroma and taste. Used in several dishes from Cajun, Cuban, Mexican and more. If one cooks alot, good value for the money.

Wonderful for many Mediterranean dishes.Especially Kibbeh!"I put that **** on nearly Everything!"

I have only used this once but am happy I got it. The flavor is amazing

I use a lot of cumin, mostly whole seeds, but pre-ground cumin is certainly convenient when just a small amount is needed to improve the taste of prepared foods. This 14 oz. container is from Spice Classics, a value brand that I often see in dollar stores and occasionally in grocery stores. It is distributed by Han-Dee Pak, a subsidiary of the more recognizable McCormick & Company.The cumin has a nice fragrance and flavor but it is noticeably less piquant and intense than other brands that I have used, including a bottle from Trader Joe’s and a packet from a natural foods store that I currently have in my cupboard. (Unfortunately, I don’t have any McCormick brand to compare it to.)This has also been my experience with other spices from the Spice Classics brand, such as cinnamon and black pepper, but the cost of a small jar is hard to beat, especially for a spice that I don’t use frequently, such as cloves. I don’t know if this is because of the particular variety, source, or quality of spices that they can sell at the lower price point or because the spices are simply not as fresh. Basically, the quality is the same as the average store brand or bulk spices from the Indian grocery store vs. a premium brand. It’s irrelevant to me because most spices gradually lose their flavor but don’t actually go bad regardless of the initial quality anyway and are safe to use even after many years.
