Why does
Jeera /cumin
seeds sold in most of the shops
have
saunf /soambu /fennel
seeds mixed in them? I hate the
taste of
saunf while I
love
Jeera . Be it
Food world or More or some other
supermarket or a small provision
store, nowadays,
saunf
seems to be mixed with
Jeera
almost everywhere. If I buy
Jeera once from a shop and
find that
saunf is not
mixed with it, the very next
time, it too seems to be having
saunf in it. Using the
Jeera for cooking
spoils the taste of the dish
