A: Yes. Jeera is the South Asian name for cumin seeds, the exact spice in this pack. Q: Should I use the seeds whole or ground? A: Both work well. Many cooks temper them whole in hot oil, then dry roast and grind a portion for spice blends. Q: How do I keep the seeds fresh? A: Store them sealed in a cool, dry cupboard away from light so the aroma lasts. Q: Who makes it? A: This is a TOP OP product, a brand of TOP OP Foods, a long established Asian and world food distributor based in the UK.
