About Product

Kala Jeera/Kalonji “kalonji” or “Nigella seeds,” are small, triangular seeds derived from the Nigella sativa plant, native to Southwest Asia. Despite their name, black cumin seeds are not related to cumin but are instead a member of the buttercup family. These seeds have a distinctive slightly bitter taste with a peppery flavor and are often used as a spice in various cuisines, particularly in Middle Eastern, Indian, and North African cooking.

Black cumin seeds are also valued for their potential health benefits and have been traditionally used in herbal medicine for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive properties. They are commonly used as a seasoning in bread, curries, pickles, and salads, adding a unique flavor and texture to dishes.
