4017-LO Nigella sativa
(Edible seed. Annual. 110 days.)
Also known as “fennel flower.” A unique spice plant that has been cultivated in India for millennia and is a staple flavour in East Indian cuisine. The seed’s distinct peppery flavour is brought out by dry roasting prior to use. Small blue flowers turn to tiny dry seedpods. Pungent black seeds are used to flavour curries, bread, Indian naan and cheese. Black cumin is said to have immune-stimulating properties. Up to 40% of the dried seed weight is actually oil!
Frost-hardy.
