NIGELLA SEEDS

Nigella Seeds – Nutty, Peppery & Uniquely Aromatic
Also known as black cumin or black onion seeds, these tiny black seeds have a distinct nutty, slightly bitter flavour with hints of onion and oregano. Nigella seeds add a crunchy texture and bold flavour to breads, salads, and spice blends.

Why we love them:

Distinctive Taste: Offers a complex peppery and slightly oniony flavour that enlivens dishes.
Traditional Uses: Popular in Middle Eastern, Indian, and North African cuisines.
Culinary Versatility: Perfect for sprinkling on breads, adding to pickles, and enhancing vegetable dishes.
Long-Lasting Freshness: Whole seeds maintain their aroma and texture longer than ground forms.

How to enjoy:

Baking: Sprinkle on naan, flatbreads, and rolls for crunchy texture and flavour.
Cooking: Add to curries, rice dishes, and vegetable stews for depth.
Pickling: Use in pickling blends to add a peppery, herbal note.
Spice Blends: Combine with cumin, coriander, and fennel for homemade spice mixes.
