Nigella Seeds are tiny black seeds obtained from the Nigella sativa plant. Commonly known as Kalonji, Black Seed, or Black Cumin, they have a distinctive flavor that is slightly nutty, peppery, earthy, and mildly onion-like. 

Nigella seeds are widely used in South Asian, Middle Eastern, North African, and Mediterranean cuisines. They are often sprinkled on breads, added to pickles, incorporated into spice blends, or used to season vegetable and meat dishes. Their unique flavor and aroma make them a popular ingredient in traditional cooking. 

These versatile seeds add both texture and depth to recipes while enhancing the overall flavor profile of savory dishes.
