Production & Sourcing
Whole Caraway Seeds are produced through a process that begins with the cultivation of the caraway plant (Carum carvi). The plant produces small, elongated seeds that develop within seed pods. Once the seeds have matured and the seed pods have turned brown, they are harvested from the plant. The harvested seeds are then dried to reduce their moisture content and preserve their quality. This drying process can be done naturally by exposing the seeds to sunlight or artificially using drying equipment.
