Botanical Name: Nigella sativa
Country of Origin: India
English Name: Black Cumin
Common Name: Black Seed
Sanskrit Name: Krishna Jiraka
Hindi Name: Kalonji
Also Known As: Black Seed Powder, Black Cumin Seed Powder, Kalonji Powder, Nigella sativa Seed Powder
Part Used: Dried seeds of Nigella sativa, finely milled
Description: Black Seed Powder is produced from the dried seeds of Nigella sativa, an annual flowering plant native to regions of South Asia and the Middle East. The mature seeds are harvested when the seed capsules dry on the plant, then cleaned to remove natural field residue. After drying, the seeds are finely milled to create a smooth, dark powder that maintains the natural colour, aroma, and characteristic appearance of the original seeds.
Nigella sativa seeds are small, angular, and naturally deep black in colour. When processed into powder, they retain their distinctive earthy aroma and fine granular texture. The uniform milling allows the powder to blend easily into culinary mixtures, seasoning blends, and creative food-related projects.
The seeds are cleaned, air-dried or warm-air dried to reduce moisture, and then mechanically milled into a consistent powder.
Uses: Black Seed Powder is used in culinary seasoning blends, spice mixes, baked goods, savoury dishes, artisanal food products, and educational spice kits. Its deep colour and natural flavour characteristics make it suitable for both functional and creative culinary applications where a finely milled spice is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
