It has a substantial amount of carbohydrates and fats & fatty acids.

One teaspoon of cumin is enough to meet your daily requirements.

Cumin adds taste and flavor to simple recipes. But the best thing is that cumin is a weight loss aid. It is rich in an organic compound, Cuminaldehyde, which activates your salivary glands and thus work as a digestion aid.

Second, cumin contains thymol, which stimulates the glands secreting acids, enzymes, bile juice that aid in complete digestion. Cumin is also carminative, which means that it relieves you from gas troubles, and thereby, improves digestion and appetite. Due to its essential oils, magnesium, and sodium content, cumin promotes digestion. Cumin works best when taken with hot water, providing relief from stomach aches.
