Oh, okay!  Cumin is a type of seed, and it’s used in many different types of cooking to give foods a spicy or even sharp flavor.  It’s commonly used in Mexican and Middle Eastern dishes like chili, stew and rice.  Also, it’s sometimes used as a preservative in dairy and meat products, so if you can find other uses for it, then great!  What would you like to use it for?

If you were a chef cooking a certain kind of food, then yes, it would definitely be used for that food!  What type of food would that be?
