Caraway seeds are small, curved and ridged, with an elongated shape and a strong scent when crushed. Buyers look for plump, fragrant seeds in a dry, sound lot.

Apothecaries use them in remedies intended to aid digestion and sweeten the breath. Although they resemble other spice seeds, they are distinct from aniseed and cumin. Botanically, the grains are the plant's fruits, gathered and dried before sale. Their shape and aroma are useful clues when examining a merchant's stock.
