Since the Middle Ages, caraway has been used as a fresh herb for cooking, but today we mostly use the seeds - and mainly for bread and cheese. Caraway seeds have an aromatic and 'sharp' taste. Caraway oil is used, among other things, for Danish schnapps.
Caraway is an umbellifer with finely divided leaves with thread-like divisions. It is a biennial plant with fruits that when ripe split into two 5-6 mm yellow-brown fruit parts.
Arabs used the fruits - erroneously called seeds - as a spice named karauya, hence the English name caraway. It is mentioned in cookbooks as early as th 14th Century.
Caraway is a must for sauerkraut. It is also used for adding flavour to bread, cheese, meat, cucumber salad and caraway bitters.
