Cumin Seeds
- Size: Approximately 3-4 mm (1/8 inch) long
- Color: Yellowish-brown to grey-ochre
- Aroma: Warm, earthy, and slightly musky
- Moisture Content: Typically below 10% (ensures proper storage and shelf life)
- Foreign Material: Limited percentage by weight (e.g., 2%), including stones, dirt, or other plant material.
- Shrivelled and Immature Seeds: May be limited by a certain percentage (ensures plump and fully developed seeds).
- Broken Seeds: May also be limited by a percentage depending on the grade (higher grades allow for fewer broken seeds).
- Admixture: Limited percentage of foreign seeds or plant parts (e.g., 1%).
- Volatile Oil Content: Minimum percentage, typically around 2.5% to 4.5% (volatile oil is what gives cumin seeds their aroma and flavor).
