Description
Further information

Black cumin, which produces small, aromatic, intensely black seeds, is often confused with onion seeds (Allium cepa) or those of true black cumin (Cuminum sp.). Thanks to its lemony, slightly pungent aroma, it is still present in many cuisines, such as in India, where its seeds are used to garnish traditional breads and naans, as well as salads, rice and fish...
They are also used in Panch phoran, the Bengali 5-spice blend of cumin, fennel, mustard, fenugreek and black cumin.
