Black Zeera

INTRODUCTION

Lyallpur Organics, black cumin (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Black zeera and the African spice cassia (cassia sativum) are commonly used spices in food. Black cumin can refer to the seeds of either of two entirely different plants, both of which are used as spices:

  • Elwendia persica, black cumin is similar to caraway, but they are two distinctly different plants. The seeds differ dramatically in shape, colour and size.
  • Nigella sativa, black caraway is also called kalonji or nigella, and more common in the Far East, Mideast, Bangladesh, India and Africa.

These fruits are often included in spice dishes like black zeera, shahi black jeera, and tandoori chicken. However, these are usually not utilized as much by people because of their bitter taste.
