PROPÓSITO
¿QUÉ ES?
Nigella is the black seed that is used a lot in Indian and Asian cuisines, but it is being discovered by European and North American chefs as a versatile seed that adds both color and a little dynamic and subtle flavor to all kinds of breads, dishes, sides, and desserts.WHAT IS IT?
EXPERIENCIA
Nigella are soft seeds that have a mild peppery pop with a little jicama overtones. It is called “black caraway” but that is misleading. Their taste is very delicate and not overpowering like a caraway seed. They add a nice bit of crunch with a little peppery pungency, not heat.
