A well-known plant for its distinctive scent is cumin [Cuminum cyminum Linn.]. It is a herbaceous annual plant in the Umbellifereae family. Many traditional cuisines have been prepared with cumin seeds as a spice or a key component. In various cultural contexts in the Middle East, cumin has also been said to have significant culinary and therapeutic purposes. The chemical make-up, nutritional value, ethnomedical applications, and traditional usage of cumin seeds were all covered in this review. The review discussed the isolated and discovered bioactive components evaluated and validated therapeutic qualities in addition to describing the pharmacological properties of cumin based on publications that are currently accessible. The most current research on drug bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and potential negative effects are also reported.
