Occurrence of real caraway seeds

The real caraway prefers fatty meadows and pastures with moderate nutrient supply and rather acid soils.

Effect of real caraway

Caraway is one of the oldest spice plants and was already used in the Stone Age.

The plants contain a lot of essential oil, which has a very positive effect on digestion and relieves cramps in the gastrointestinal tract. The reproduction of certain bacteria is also inhibited, so that bad breath, for example, can be reduced.

Caraway is also used in veterinary medicine – for colic and stomach cramps in cattle. The fruits are also used to make eaux-de-vie and liqueurs.
