Caraway is a classic culinary herb native to Asia and parts of Europe and is often confused with fennel or cumin. Caraway grows up to 36 inches tall and has bright green foliage with dainty pale yellow to white flowers that grow in an umbel fashion. The leaves and flowers are edible, as well as the seeds. Caraway has a sharp flavor that is nutty, and bittersweet with notes of citrus and anise. Caraway is commonly used to flavor curries, bread, pastries, and other confections, and savory dishes. It's best combined with apples, cabbage, poultry, onions, pork, potatoes, sauerkraut, tomatoes coriander, garlic, parsley, and thyme.

 

Caraway will produce tasty foliage the first year and will flower and produce seed the second year. Caraway is known for attracting beneficial insects such as hoverflies and lacewings.
