Caraway Seeds

Caraway seed is used to flavor liqueurs, teas, soups, breads and other baked goods. Caraway seeds come from the caraway plant, a member of the carrot family. The plant’s roots can be eaten, but most people use the caraway fruit, which is mistakenly called seed as a result of its size and texture. Caraway seeds are very aromatic, and have a strong anise-like taste, making them popular in savory dishes, such as sauerkraut and harissa.
