Caraway Seed, Carum carvi, is a member of the Apiaceae (or Umbelliferae) family, often referred to as the parsley family, and is closely related to anise, asafoetida, caraway, carrot, celery, chervil, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, and parsnip. Caraway is indigenous to the Mediterranean, Northern Africa and Central Europe and may be best known as the seed that flavors rye bread.
Add Caraway towards the end of the cooking process or after the dish is cooked as long simmer times tend to produce a bitter flavor. While most frequently found as a whole seed, ground Caraway produces a very pleasant flavor. Caraway seeds grind up very easily but will lose their flavor quickly so only grind in smaller batches.
The pungent sharp aroma of caraway seed is reminiscent of dill and its biting, warm, sweet flavor is a bit like a blend of anise and dill.
