Black cumin has a deeper, earthier, nuttier flavour than the white cumin seeds.
Used in curries, stews and with red meat dishes.
Heat the seeds to release their aroma.
Black cumin seeds are commonly used in Indian, Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. They are strongly fragranced and will need heating prior to cooking to help release their true flavours.
Directions
Use as normal cumin. Add to curries at an early stage during the frying process, for best release of flavour.
Black cumin has a more intense flavour than regular cumin.
