Description
Black Caraway Seeds, commonly known as Kalonji or Nigella Seeds, are derived from the plant Nigella sativa. These tiny, jet-black seeds are celebrated in Ayurveda, Unani, and natural medicine systems for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunity-boosting properties. With a unique bitter, peppery flavor, they are widely used as a spice in bread, pickles, and Indian dishes. The seeds and their oil are also valued in cosmetic formulations and herbal remedies.
