Standard cumin powders often include "spent seeds" (seeds already stripped of oil) or ground stalks and hulls to add bulk. Diara utilizes a Selective Heart-Milling process. We strip away the fibrous outer waste, grinding only the oil-dense center of the prime-harvest seed. Because we don't use fillers or "dust," Diara Cumin is 30% more potent by weight. You will find that half a teaspoon of our powder provides more structural depth and color than a full tablespoon of a commercial brand.
