Thumbs up Thumbs up Caroline, nice job on the article. I've never grown caraway and did not know much about it, so thanks for the fantastic info. The silly thing is that I do buy the spice. I do like the look of the flower so I may have seed some.

Nice article, Caroline. I like the taste of caraway and appreciate the fact that all parts of the plant can be used. I will look into growing it.
I garden for the pollinators.

Very interesting! I've only used it in breads and never thought about where the seeds came from. It looks to be a very attractive plant, too. May have to give it a try. Thanks for the information!

Well--I AM from Northern Europe (Latvia) and am familiar with caraway.
The one herb none of us "up there" can live without is DILL.

I mostly use Caraway with Pork. When I do a roast--I sprinkle some all over. Love the flavor it gives.
I have also used a pinch of it with Lima beans fried in bacon fat.
It has a strong flavor--so use it sparingly .

I don't make bread--but it is awesome with REAL rye bread. Gita
