Authentic Heritage & Story
Kitchen Grocery Nigella Seeds, or Kalonji, are very small black tear-shaped seeds of the Nigella sativa plant, which is cultivated in India. The farmers pick them out from dried seed pods in the dry climate of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. The seeds obtained from winnowing are very clean and uniform and do not contain any bits of the plant. When crushed, each seed gives off a strong smell which is a mixture of onion and garlic, depending on how strong the seed is, with a slight bitter and nutty taste. A large portion of the world’s supply is made from India's agricultural fields. shopindianproducts extracts them fresh in vacuum-packed bags for dispatch abroad. The color remains as consistent as ever without any fading. The harvesting is done when the seed pods become brown and dry. The seeds are then sorted according to size so that all the packs are uniform. They feel hard and angular when pinched between the fingers. Light roasting will make the full aroma come out and thus, will be ready for use.
