Nigella Seeds

Nigella seeds, also known as black cumin or kalonji, are small, black, tear-shaped seeds with a slightly bitter, peppery flavor and notes of onion, oregano, and toasted sesame. Common in Middle Eastern, Indian, and North African cuisines, they are used in spice blends, breads (like naan), pickles, and vegetable dishes. Aside from their culinary use, nigella seeds are valued in traditional medicine for their antioxidant and immune-supporting properties.
