Cumin powder, also called Jeera powder or Ground Cumin, is a staple pantry ingredient in many cuisines. As the name suggests, ground cumin is made from cumin seeds.

Jeera has carminative, stimulant, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial qualities due to the presence of essential oils that contain cuminaldehyde and various pyrazines. Thus, jeera water may promote natural urination, aid in the recovery of infections or wounds in the digestive and excretory systems, and quicken digestion.
