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.
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!

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
