The aroma comes from essential oils, mostly carvone and limonene. Caraway seed oil is also used as a fragrance component in soaps, lotions, and perfumes. The plant looks similar to a carrot plant, with finely divided, feathery leaves with thread-like divisions, growing on 20-30 cm stems. The main flower stem is 40-60 cm tall, with white or pink flowers in umbels. The roots may be cooked like parsnips or carrots. It prefers sun and well-drained soil.
