Smith & Truslow Organic Ground Cumin is USDA certified organic, freshly ground in small batches, and third-party tested for heavy metals — delivering the warm, earthy, slightly smoky depth that makes cumin one of the most essential spices in every well-stocked kitchen.
Our organic cumin is sourced from the finest cumin-producing regions in the world and ground fresh to preserve its essential oils, rich amber color, and distinctive aromatic intensity. Whether you're building the base of a taco seasoning, layering flavor into a curry, seasoning a chili, or creating a dry rub for the grill, Smith & Truslow organic ground cumin delivers a boldness and complexity that pre-ground grocery store cumin simply can't match.
Why Our Organic Ground Cumin Is Different
Many brands add anticaking agents and fillers to extend shelf life. Ours doesn't. Every lot of Smith & Truslow organic cumin is freshly ground in small batches and tested by an accredited third-party lab against heavy metal specifications more stringent than industry standards. Pure cumin. Nothing added. Nothing hidden.

Storage and Shelf Life
Storage and Shelf Life
Storage: To maximize freshness, store in a dark airtight container in a cool dry place. Once the spice is ground, flavor deteriorates with exposure to light, heat, air, humidity and time. Here are rules of thumb about the shelf life of spices and herbs >
NOTE: The plastic refill bags are not intended for long-term storage of your spices. Due to the porous nature of plastic, the essential oils that are released when a spice is ground, may react with the plastic and/or labelling inks over time.
Refill bags contain the same amount of spice as in our small glass jars. When they arrive, simply snip the corner of your bag, refill your original Smith & Truslow spice jar, apply the new label, and recycle the bag.
