Organic black cumin seeds

Black cumin seeds (Nigella sativa) are a classic ingredient in Oriental cuisine. They add a spicy flavour to flatbread, salads, dips and hummus. The aroma is especially intense when the seeds are lightly roasted or crushed in a mortar before use.

Black cumin is not related to caraway or cumin, despite the name. It is native to Western Asia, Iraq and Turkey and has long been cultivated in North Africa, Southern Europe, India and Pakistan. Egyptian black cumin is considered one of the best qualities.
