They are used as a spice in breads, especially rye bread. Caraway is also used in liquors, casseroles, and other foods. It is also used to add flavor to cheeses. Caraway seeds, brown in color are hard and sharp to touch.Caraway seeds look very similar to cumin.Caraway is widely used as a spice for culinary purposes and for flavoring bread, biscuits, cakes and cheese. It is also used for seasoning sausages and as medicine to relief stomach ailments. Whole seeds should also be stored in a container in a cool area, as well .
