This ephemeral seed can be found gracing foods throughout Eastern Europe, Northern and Eastern Africa, the Middle East, and India. Matte black and delightfully crunchy, nigella has a peppery, oniony flavor and a beautiful oregano-like aroma. Wonderful in breads, pickles, and garnishes where they add visual appeal and texture as well as flavor.

Tasting Notes Earthy, Savory, Nutty, and Vegetal
Pairs Well With Breads, cheeses, rice
Special Tips Toast for best flavor before use. Makes a wonderful substitute for black sesame seeds in garnishes.
