The Botany of the Vegetable Blend
Garlic, whose botanical name is Allium sativum, comes from the Liliaceae family. This perennial plant consists of a bulb formed of cloves wrapped in membranes. Garlic can grow up to one meter high.Basil, whose botanical name is Ocimum basilicum L., is a herbaceous plant in the Lamiaceae family, like oregano or marjoram. Basil grows in the form of branched stems. It is one of the symbols of Italian cuisine.
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is a plant in the Apiaceae family. Coriander is an aromatic plant that grows in various regions and is used in many culinary preparations, particularly in Asia, Latin America, or Mediterranean cuisine.
Turmeric is a rhizome with a magnificent orange-yellow color, with peppery and musky aromas. It comes from a tropical plant from the same family as ginger.
A long process: after cleaning and cutting it, it is boiled to remove its skin, then once peeled and dried, it is ground into powder.
Cumin, whose botanical name is Cuminum cyminum, comes from the Apiaceae family, just like parsley. Coming from the Near East, it is mainly cultivated in the Mediterranean basin, cumin was initially a spice to smoke or it was used to prepare dishes.
The plant is about 30 cm high. The seeds are harvested when mature, in September or October. After harvesting, the stems are dried in the sun for two to three days and then beaten to detach the seeds which are the famous cumin we know. To obtain our cumin powder, the seeds are ground after drying for simple and flavorful use in cooking.

The charred vegetables found on the fire seemed to accompany meat, as we do in our traditional meals... But did they have the vegetable blend?| Allergen | SULFITES / SULPHITES |
