Spice of the Week: Caraway

This week, our “Spice of the Week” series focuses on Caraway, one of the oldest spices of all!

The name “Caraway” comes from the Arabic name “karawiya”. It was originally found only in the temperate countries of Asia. Today, it grows wild all over Europe, North America, the near East and India.
