Badia Caraway Whole Seeds. 16 oz.

Caraway seeds are the slightly bitter, citrus-edged spice behind rye bread, sauerkraut, and the Spanish caldo gallego that crossed into Cuban kitchens through Galician immigration.

Common Uses: caldo gallego, rye and dark breads, roasted pork rubs, braised cabbage, lentil soups, sausage seasoning.

Pantry Role: base seasoning, baking staple.

Common In: Spanish, Galician, Central European, and Middle Eastern cooking — plus the Spanish-influenced corners of Cuban and Latin American kitchens.

Pairs With: bay leaf, black pepper, fennel seed, coriander, smoked paprika, garlic, chorizo, white beans, cabbage.

Whole seeds keep their oils longer than pre-ground; toast briefly in a dry pan before crushing to wake up the flavor. 16 oz resealable size ships nationwide.
