The Hindu Kush range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks cut through by green river valleys; the significant snowfall in the winter results in abundant vegetation in the short spring and summer seasons despite low rainfall. The rocky soil cultivates an ancient and resilient varietal of cumin with a warm, pungent flavor and irresistible aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cumin grows wild, and other than the small quantities we export, is harvested only for local consumption; there is no scalability or institutional infrastructure for export, and we are only able to source this very rare cumin varietal because of Burlap \u0026amp; Barrel founder Ethan’s years working in Badakhshan and surrounding provinces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurlap \u0026amp; Barrel is the only importer of Wild Mountain Cumin from Afghanistan. Our cumin grows wild and can be considered naturally organic, as no pesticides or other chemicals are used in its cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Burlap \u0026 Barrel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48358156108030,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0257\/0774\/1261\/files\/wild_mountain_cumin.jpg?v=1781462999","url":"https:\/\/livelyolive.com\/products\/wild-mountain-cumin-1-5-oz","provider":"Lively Olive Tasting Bar Port Townsend \u0026 Bainbridge Island","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
