Nigella Seed, also known as black cumin or kalonji, is a small black seed native to Southwest Asia. Its unique flavor is slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness and is often used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisine. It has also been used in traditional medicine for its health benefits.

These seeds can be used whole or ground and are a great addition to spice blends, bread, pickles, and even desserts. Nigella seeds pair well with vegetables, fish, and meats. Add them to your favorite curry or stew for an extra layer of flavor.
