Nigella seeds 800g
Discover the unique, bold flavour of Nigella Seeds. These intriguing black seeds offer a complex taste—reminiscent of onion, oregano, and black pepper—with a subtle, bitter crunch. A staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Bengali baking for flatbreads, pickles, and curries.
The Ancient Seed with a Modern Culinary Punch
Despite their common name "black onion seeds," Nigella Seeds are not related to onions. Instead, they offer a truly unique flavour profile all their own: a sharp, peppery kick with warm, earthy tones and a hint of oregano. Their intriguing, slightly bitter taste and crunchy texture make them a captivating addition to both savoury and some sweet dishes.
A cornerstone of culinary traditions from India to Egypt, these seeds are celebrated for their ability to add depth, texture, and a visually striking black speckle to everything from naan bread to cheese platters.

Unlock the bold potential of this ancient seed:
Flatbreads & Baking: Generously sprinkle over naan bread, focaccia, and savoury scones before baking.
Pickling & Preserving: A traditional ingredient in pickles, chutneys, and brines, especially in Bengali cuisine.
