Blackseeds (Nigella)

Description

Black Seeds (Nigella Seeds) | Kalonji Seeds UK

These little black seeds might not look like much at first glance, but they pack a lot of flavour! Also known as nigella or kalonji, they’ve been used in kitchens for generations across Asia and the Middle East.

Cooking with Black Seeds

In the kitchen, black seeds add a lovely nutty, slightly onion-like flavour – a bit like a mix between sesame seeds and oregano. They’re brilliant scattered over naan bread or homemade rolls before baking, sprinkled on roasted vegetables, or mixed into curries and stews. We love them on top of roasted butternut squash or stirred into a warming bowl of soup.

Storage tip: Keep these seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, and they’ll stay fresh and flavourful for months.

Whether you’re an experienced cook or just wanting to try something new in your kitchen, these versatile little seeds are worth having in your cupboard!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
