Caraway (Carum carvi) is a spice derived from the dried seeds of a plant belonging to the parsley family. It has a warm, slightly sweet flavour with hints of anise and is commonly used in breads, especially rye bread, as well as in sauerkraut, cheeses, and savoury dishes. Caraway has been utilised for centuries in European, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines. Besides its culinary applications, it has a long-standing history in traditional herbal medicine for digestive support. The seeds are small, crescent-shaped, and brown with ridged surfaces.
