caraway seed

Bread seasoning kernel

Caraway seeds are the small, crescent-shaped dried fruits of the caraway plant, used as a spice in cooking and baking.

They have a distinctive warm, slightly sweet flavor with hints of anise and are especially common in rye bread, sauerkraut, and Central European cuisines.

Despite being called seeds, they are technically fruits.

The recipe calls for a teaspoon of caraway seeds.
