About
Caraway Seed
Caraway Seed has a sweet, mild licorice-dill flavor with a bit of a bite.
It is typically used in rye breads but also flavors cakes, biscuits, root
vegetables, potato and especially cheeses. In international cooking it flavors
German and Austrian meat, vegetables, sauerkraut, pickles, and breads. Europeans
use it to flavor cheeses. It has a dominant flavor that does not always blend
easily with other spices but it is wonderful combined with garlic. Use it
in herb butter for rolls, when baking sauerkraut and apples with pork chops,
in meat stews or with buttered spaetzle or noodles. To top bread with seed,
brush raised bread dough with an egg/water mixture or plain water before baking
and sprinkle with seeds. Caraway can be used either whole or ground.
