Kalonji Seed
Kalonji seeds, sourced from Nigella sativa, are small, black seeds with a peppery, nutty flavor and a hint of bitterness. A staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines, they enhance breads like naan, curries, pickles, and spice blends. Rich in antioxidants, thymoquinone, and essential fatty acids, kalonji seeds support immunity, digestion, and skin health. Toasted or raw, they add a crunchy texture to salads or yogurt. Our 100% natural, non-GMO kalonji seeds are free from additives and available in various sizes (2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz). Store in a cool, dry place for lasting freshness.
