Product of the Month: Caraway

Caraway essential oil comes from the caraway plant, a member of the carrot family and a cousin to dill, fennel, anise, and cumin. Caraway seeds may be small, but these tiny packages yield an essential oil bursting with compounds that offer a range of powerful properties. The distinct aroma comes from D-Carvone, which makes the raw seeds the star flavour of dishes like Bavarian-style sauerkraut, rye bread, and German sausages. 

The caraway plant grows in grasslands and cultivated fields native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. It’s also known by several other names, such as meridian fennel, Persian cumin, or European caraway. The plant looks like fennel with clusters of small, white flowers in a flat-topped flower head, and grows approximately 60 cm tall. Caraway essential oil is produced through steam distillation of its long and tiny seeds that are collected, crushed, and transformed into essential oil.
