Ingredients
caraway seed
Caraway [Carum carvi] is made from seeds of the caraway plant. Caraway seed is often confused with the very similar cumin seed, but they are not the same. There is a small difference: caraway seeds are somewhat curved, cumin seeds are straight. Both caraway and cumin have a spicy, aniseed taste, but caraway seed is stronger, hotter and less bitter than cumin seed.

Caraway seed whole is a spice that has been used since the Middle Ages. It is used in the kitchen and not least for its medicinal properties. It has a spicy, aniseed-like taste.

The warm, aniseed-like spice provides a pleasant aroma to various recipes. As it has a strong flavour, you should best dose it to your own taste.
The difference with cumin and fennel
Caraway seeds very often get confused with cumin seeds. Given their taste, this is not strange, but it really concerns two different spices. Although both have a spicy, aniseed-like flavour, caraway seeds are twice as strong and somewhat less bitter than cumin seeds. Their shape is also only slightly different. Cumin seed is straight in shape, while caraway seed is a more crooked. Caraway is regularly confused with fennel as well. Although this is also has an aniseed-like flavour, it has a somewhat grassy like note to it and is mainly used in combination with lamb or pork.
