Organic Caraway «Appetizing»
Caraway is a member of the carrot family and looks much like a carrot plant prior to flowering. It is an upright growing plant, with a spindle shaped tap root.
During flowering it sends up tall stalks that may reach from 60-90cm high. Sometimes this does not happen until the second year, so plants may not be very high in the first season. The stem is hollow and branching, while the foliage is feathery and held on the stem in threes or opposite pairs.
When flower stalks appear the tiny, white and pink flowers are held in umbels at the top. Umbelliferous refers to the flat topped cluster of flowers held at the top of several stems, all arising from the same main stalk. The summer flowers are followed by the aromatic fruits, which are often mistakenly called seeds. The aromatic, crescent shaped fruits are brown and have 5 distinctive ridges.
Caraway is grown commercially in many countries and is native to Western Asia, Europe and North Africa. Alternative names include Meridian Fennel and Persian Cumin. Caraway may sometimes be confused with Caraway Thyme, so check that your selected plant has the scientific name Carum carvi.
The origins of the scientific name are not clear. There seems to be a link between the Latin ‘cuminum’ and the Greek ‘karon’ both of which mean ‘cumin’. However, ‘cumin’ has since been adapted to ‘carum’, which is now the Genus name referring to Caraway. There are also links to the Arabic word ‘karawya’ which means seed.
