Can I Substitute Cumin For Caraway?
While both cumin and caraway have a vaguely similar taste and aroma, they are still different in terms of flavor profile. Cumin is nutty and earthy, while caraway is sweeter and has an anise-like flavor. While you can substitute cumin for caraway if you do not have any at hand, the final dish may not taste exactly the same. It is best to adjust the spice as per your taste preference.
