Caraway Seeds

Caraway seeds (Carum carvi) are a spice with a distinctive warm, earthy aroma and a long history in both traditional herbal practices and culinary traditions. Known for their digestive properties, caraway seeds are a staple in European and Middle Eastern cuisines, frequently used in pickles, rye breads, sauerkraut, and meat dishes.

At Tuna Spice, we offer high-quality bulk caraway seeds with naturally high carvone content, carefully processed to preserve their aromatic strength and natural integrity.
