Flavour

The seeds deliver a unique, multi-layered taste that sits somewhere between toasted onions, black pepper, and oregano. When bitten into, they release a slight bitterness and a nutty warmth that provides a savory depth without being overpowering.

Uses

These are most famously used as a decorative and flavorful topping for naan bread, but they also excel when sprinkled over roasted vegetables or stirred into lentil dals. They add a wonderful texture and visual contrast to creamy salads, pickles, and savory shortbread biscuits.

Ingredients

This jar contains 100% pure Nigella sativa seeds, also commonly known as Kalonji or Black Onion seeds, with no added fillers or artificial colors. The seeds are carefully dried to preserve their natural volatile oils, which are responsible for their potent, aromatic qualities.

Notable Features

Packaged in a 45g glass jar to ensure the seeds remain crisp and flavorful, this spice is a staple for authentic Middle Eastern and Indian cuisine. Despite the common name, they are not actually related to onions, offering a far more herbal and spicy character to your pantry.
