About Whole Cumin / Acerca del Comino Entero

Our Whole Cumin Seeds (Comino Entero) are aromatic, earthy seeds with a warm, slightly smoky flavor — one of the most fundamental spices in Mexican cuisine. Whole seeds keep their essential oils far longer than ground cumin, so you get more aroma per teaspoon and far better results.

Nuestro comino entero es uno de los pilares de la cocina mexicana — sabor cálido, terroso y ligeramente ahumado. En forma de semilla entera conserva sus aceites esenciales mucho más tiempo que el comino molido. Esencial para tacos al pastor, frijoles, marinadas, salsas, chile colorado, asados y mil platillos más.

Quick Tip / Tip rápido

Toast whole cumin seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before grinding — the warmth releases their oils and the aroma multiplies. Toasted & freshly ground cumin is night-and-day better than pre-ground.
Tuesta el comino entero en sartén seco 30 segundos antes de moler — el aroma se multiplica. Comino tostado y recién molido es muchísimo mejor que el comino ya molido del frasco.


Recipe Inspiration / Receta Sugerida — Adobo de Comino para Tacos al Pastor

Ingredients (for 4 lb pork): 2 tbsp whole cumin (toasted & ground) • 4 dried guajillo + 2 ancho chiles (toasted & rehydrated) • 1 cup pineapple juice • ⅓ cup white vinegar • 6 garlic cloves • 1 tsp Mexican oregano • 1 tsp ground annatto (achiote) • 1 tsp salt • Optional: ½ tsp ground cloves

Steps: 1) Toast whole cumin seeds in a dry pan 30 sec, grind. 2) Toast and rehydrate chiles 15 min. 3) Blend cumin + chiles + pineapple juice + vinegar + garlic + oregano + achiote + salt to a smooth paste. 4) Marinate 4 lb thinly-sliced pork shoulder for at least 4 hours (better overnight). 5) Cook on a hot grill or comal until lightly charred. Serve in warm corn tortillas with chopped pineapple, onion, cilantro, and salsa verde. The defining flavor of true tacos al pastor.

Adobo de comino para pastor: tuesta y muele 2 cdas de comino entero. Licua con chiles guajillo y ancho hidratados, jugo de piña, vinagre, ajo, orégano, achiote y sal. Marina 4 lb de cerdo en lonjas finas mínimo 4 horas. Cocina en plancha o comal hasta dorar. Sirve en tortillas con piña, cebolla, cilantro y salsa verde — el sabor verdadero del taco al pastor.

How can I pay if I pick up in person?

At our warehouse we accept cash and Zelle. Card and digital wallet payments are available for online orders — if you'd prefer to pay by card, place your order online, select store pickup, and come get it.

En el almacén aceptamos efectivo y Zelle. Con tarjeta: haz tu pedido en línea, selecciona retiro en tienda y pásalo a recoger.


What is your return policy?

Because we sell fresh and perishable food in bulk, we accept returns in two situations:

  • Quality defect attributable to us — product received spoiled or in unsuitable condition, an incorrect item shipped, or a product that doesn't match its description. We cover return shipping.
  • Unopened product — if you change your mind, you may return any item still unopened, unused, and sealed in its original packaging exactly as we shipped it. Return shipping is at your cost.

Requests must be made within 3 days of receiving your order, with photos. If approved, you choose — a replacement or a full refund.

Aceptamos devoluciones por defecto de calidad atribuible a nosotros (cubrimos el flete) o por producto sin abrir y sellado (el flete corre por tu cuenta). Solicitud dentro de 3 días con fotos.

My order arrived damaged. What do I do?

Contact us within 24 hours with photos of the outer packaging and the product inside. All orders leave inspected and properly packed, so transit damage is the carrier's responsibility — but we'll help you file the claim, since the shipment is insured under our carrier account.

Contáctanos dentro de 24 horas con fotos del empaque y del producto. Te ayudamos a levantar el reclamo con el transportista.


Do you sell wholesale / in bulk?

That's most of what we do. We supply restaurants, bakeries, Mexican grocery stores, spice blenders, and foodservice distributors across the U.S. Most products are priced per pound, and the price drops as volume goes up.

El mayoreo es la mayor parte de lo que hacemos. Precios por libra que bajan al aumentar el volumen.

Browse our wholesale catalog → / Ver catálogo de mayoreo →


Do you offer payment terms?

Payment is due at the time of order. We don't currently offer net terms or credit accounts — this keeps our per-pound pricing as low as it is.

El pago es al momento del pedido. No manejamos crédito ni términos net.


How should I store my spices and dried fruit?

Keep everything in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once you open a bulk bag, transfer what you're not using into an airtight container. Whole spices hold their aroma far longer than ground. Dried fruit stays plump sealed; refrigeration extends shelf life in humid climates.

Guarda todo en un lugar fresco, seco y sin luz. Al abrir una bolsa, pasa lo demás a un recipiente hermético.


Are your products authentic Mexican?

We import directly and ship from the border at McAllen, Texas. Our Ceylon cinnamon is true cinnamon from Sri Lanka — not the harsher Cassia most U.S. supermarkets carry.

Importamos directo y enviamos desde McAllen, Texas. Nuestra canela es de Ceylán verdadera, no Cassia.
