Caraway herbs (Carum carvi), known for their small, crescent-shaped seeds, have a warm, slightly sweet, and earthy flavor. The seeds are commonly used as a spice in cooking, adding depth to breads like rye, soups, stews, and cabbage dishes. They are also used in pickling and to flavor cheeses and sausages. Beyond culinary uses, caraway seeds are employed in herbal medicine to aid digestion and relieve bloating. The essential oil extracted from the seeds is used in aromatherapy and as a flavoring in liqueurs and mouthwashes.
