Nigella seeds have a delicate, yet distinctive aroma with hints of black pepper and oregano.
Nigella seeds are commonly used in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking and are often used as a topping for breads and pastries. They can also be used to add flavor to curries, stews, and rice dishes and are often used in spice blends such as garam masala.
