A variant or dialectal spelling of 'caraway', a seed spice with a distinctive warm, slightly sweet flavor used in baking and cooking.
From Arabic 'karawiyā', the word traveled through Persian and European languages with spelling variations. 'Carraway' represents an older English spelling form.
Caraway seeds taste like they're from rye bread and eastern Europe, but they actually originated in the Middle East and North Africa—medieval spice traders spread them across continents, and the word followed different spelling paths.
