Caraway is an aromatic, slightly sweet, slightly peppery seed that is used to flavor foods and drinks, including rye bread and the Scandinavian spirit aquavit.

Caraway is in the Inception stage. It’s considered a premium ingredient that can be found on mostly fine-dining and independent restaurant menus.

Dusek’s Board & Beer in Chicago serves choucroute — a version of the Alsatian sauerkraut dish choucroute garnie — consisting of aged, seared duck breast; wood-roasted duck sausage; confit duck leg; caraway-pickled apples; 18-hour sauerkraut; confit potatoes; and duck jus.
