Caraway
Sauerkraut seed spice
Caraway is an aromatic plant whose seeds are used as a spice.
The small, crescent-shaped seeds have a distinctive warm, slightly bitter flavor with notes of anise and citrus.
They appear in rye bread, sauerkraut, and Central European cooking: The bread was studded with caraway seeds.
