Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Cumin

Metabolic Effect: Cumin facilitates digestion and reduces gas problems. Thanks to the antioxidants it contains, it strengthens the immune system and protects the body against free radicals.
Consumption Recommendation: It can be consumed by adding it as a spice to meals, soups and salads. It can also be consumed by mixing it with yogurt, which both increases its flavor and facilitates digestion.
Things to Consider: Excessive consumption may cause heartburn in some people. Be careful not to exceed 1-2 teaspoons per day. Excessive consumption should be avoided during pregnancy.
Exercise Equivalent: Cumin is low in calories, but the calories in 1 teaspoon of cumin can be burned with about 20 minutes of light walking. This period is shortened with more intense activities.
