Caraway Seeds

When our grandparents had digestive issues, in those times it was a widely-known remedy to give caraway seeds to ease the digestive problems.  Baking it into bread was common practice.  Caraway Seeds were also sucked on or brewed into a health-boosting tea that eased cramping, gas and other intestinal ailments.  An oil pressed out of the caraway seeds was used to clear out phlegm when folks got congested.  Sure, many of you viewed Caraway Seeds as just medicinal.  But did you know about its taste?

Caraway Seeds add a novel flavor in many recipes.  It kinda tastes somewhere within the taste range of Anise, Cumin or Fennel and can be easily used in recipes that call for those spices as a handy substitute.  When adding to cooking recipes, some folks prefer putting these seeds in a soup bag, so they can get the flavor of Caraway without biting into the actual seed. Mince the seed and you can add a pinch of it to your sauces, dips and to potato salad.  It can also be added to bread and cookie recipes.  If you love fermenting foods, these seeds really add pizzazz to your sauerkraut (and even other pickles).  Carrot salad is amazing when you add some caraway seeds to cook with its marinade.  

As a food-based health supplement, you will be impressed that these tiny seeds, the mighty Caraway is packed with iron, magnesium, copper, calcium, antioxidants and even fiber. Some folks like toasting their Kosher Caraway Seeds in a bit of oil for about three minutes and crunching on them or sprinkling them on a green salad.
