Does Cumin Have Health Benefits?

With Autumn and cooler weather just around the corner, foods with a little more spice or kick are likely making their way back to your family's menu. But, did you ever think some of the spices already in your pantry may actually provide some health benefits while also adding great flavor to your food? One great example is cumin.

Articles abound on the internet about the potential health benefits of this tasty little spice. Cumin may help aid in better digestion and relieve indigestion. It also has properties that can help ease symptoms of sinus and/or chest congestion and common colds. I am personally feeling the decongestant benefits of cumin as I type this! Some even suggest that cumin is a strong free-radical scavenger that may be helpful in preventing cancers.

This morning I added some ground cumin to my eggs and Morning Star veggie sausage. I'm actually not a huge fan of the taste of the veggie sausage, so it made it taste MUCH better and now I am breathing easier!
