Black Cumin Seeds (Nigella sativa) are aromatic seeds used as a culinary spice and in traditional home preparations. They have a warm, slightly peppery flavour that works well in breads, savoury dishes, and spice mixes. Whole seeds keep well in the pantry and can be lightly crushed before steeping or cooking to release more aroma. This is a single-ingredient seed with no added fillers or flavouring.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in large pack sizes.
