How to identify Annual caraway (Carum carvi)
Annual caraway is characterized by delicate, feathery foliage resembling that of carrots, to which it is related. The leaves are finely divided and feather-like, typically reaching heights up to 8 inches (20 cm) in their first year. In the second year, annual caraway produces a flowering stem that can grow to be 30 inches (76 cm) tall, topped with umbels of small white or pinkish flowers. The slender, elongated fruits, commonly referred to as seeds, are crescent-shaped, about 0.2 inches (5 mm) in length. The roots, similar to parsnips, are elongate and tapering.
