🌿 Getting to know black seed

Black seed comes from the Nigella sativa plant: small, dark seeds familiar in Arab baking, cheese and labneh. They are sold whole so you control the toasting and grinding.

🍳 Ideas for the kitchen

• A pinch over fried eggs, hummus or a tomato and cucumber salad
• Pressed onto manakish and bread before baking
• Stirred into labneh with olive oil
• A teaspoon in potatoes, lentil soup and spice blends

🔥 Toasting and grinding

Toast a spoonful in a dry pan for a moment to deepen its flavour before scattering. For the strongest aroma, grind a small amount in a spice grinder just before use.
