Heray Spice Afghanistan Wild Mountain Cumin, also known as Shah Zira, is a rare single-origin cumin hand-harvested in the high-altitude mountains of Badakhshan and sun-dried for a bold, aromatic flavor. Warmer, sweeter, and more intense than common cumin, it is especially well suited for curries, soups, grilled meats, rice dishes, and blooming in hot oil to release its fragrance. Sourced directly from Afghan foragers and family farmers, this heritage spice reflects generations of traditional harvesting and supports rural farming communities in Afghanistan.
