Caraway is one of the oldest cultivated spices on record, cherished across ancient civilizations for its clarifying, comforting, and aromatic gifts. Its seed was used to sharpen perception, steady the spirit, and support digestion.
A bit of caraway lore and levity:
“You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart.”
— Fred Allen
“Use caraway to restore confidence, encourage fidelity, and to initiate changes.”
