Organic Black Cumin is sure to become a staple among your spices. Seeds of the Nigella plant have been revered for their properties as well as fantastic flavor and aroma for millennia, with Egyptian black seeds considered to be nearly as valuable as gold in that particular country. As a spice, black seeds are used worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean, North African, and southwestern Asian cuisines. Note that black seeds and black caraway are all different names for black cumin seeds, which are different from regular cumin seeds in color, flavor, and aroma.

Organic Black Cumin Seeds are more flavorful, yet a bit milder than regular cumin. Both the aroma and flavor of this spice are complex and challenging to describe, with a mix of nutmeg, black pepper, oregano, and onions resulting in a unique taste. For those new to using these seeds, try cooking curry flavored with black seeds, as cumin is a staple ingredient in many Indian spice mixes. The spice can enhance a significant number of dishes and tastes very well when added to recipes with root vegetables, which often have very little taste of their own and can soak up the flavors.

To maximize the fragrance of your organic black cumin seeds, you should toast them for a few minutes, but remember to stir constantly to avoid burning. It would be best to store Organic Black Cumin Seeds in an airtight container, keeping them away from heat and sunlight to prevent the seeds from going rancid.
