Cumin has a slightly bitter, pungent flavor with a bit of sweetness. It also has a nutty and earthy undertone. The taste can be described as slightly spicy, but not in the same way as chili pepper. Rather, it has a warming sensation.

Cumin's aroma is potent and fragrant, somewhat peppery with hints of citrus. When toasted or cooked, these flavors and aromas become more pronounced, bringing out the spice's complexity and depth.

It's worth noting that cumin's flavor can vary slightly depending on whether it's used in seed form or ground. The seeds have a stronger, more concentrated flavor, while ground cumin is milder but blends easily into recipes.

Overall, cumin is a versatile spice that complements a variety of dishes, from Indian curries and Middle Eastern kebabs to Mexican chili and Tex-Mex dishes.
