Caraway – Carum carvi
Carum carvi is an aromatic biennial, sometimes short-lived perennial, in the Apiaceae. It develops finely divided leaves, hollow stems and compound umbels of small white flowers; the dry two-part fruits are traded as caraway seed. Caraway is the species common name rather than a defined cultivar.
