Onion Seeds (Kalonji/Nigella)
These little black onion seeds have many different names. They can be known as Kalonji, black caraway, nigella, black cumin, or simply, black seeds, derived from the Nigella sativa plant. With a mild, nutty flavour and a subtle onion-like aroma, they are often used as a spice in various cuisines, particularly in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. Onion seeds are versatile and can be sprinkled over bread, added to pickles, chutneys, or salads, and incorporated into curry dishes, giving them a distinctive and aromatic flavor reminiscent of onion without the sharpness.
Additionally, these seeds are prized for their potential health benefits, believed to have antioxidant properties and potential medicinal uses in traditional herbal medicine practices. They may help bring relief to different digestive, and inflammatory conditions.
