"THE BEST CUMIN ON EARTH
This cumin, both whole seed and ground, have an extra depth of flavor that I haven’t found anywhere else. There are other small companies selling locally sourced cumin but none compare to Rumi’s. I won’t use cumin from anywhere else."

The Best Spices are from Afghanistan
Afghanistan's diverse landscape, from the soaring Hindu Kush mountains to the arid plains surrounding Herat, provides an ideal environment for cultivating some of the world's most exquisite spices. This land, nurtured by hot, dry winds and a semi-arid climate, yields unparalleled saffron, renowned globally for its high crocin content, vibrant color, and intense flavor. Beyond saffron, Afghanistan's wild foraged spices, including rare varieties like wild black cumin, are a testament to the purity and richness of the land.
At Rumi Spice, we cherish this connection to Afghanistan, not only for the exceptional quality of its spices but also for the opportunity it presents to empower local communities, preserve traditional practices, and foster sustainable economic growth.
