Kalonji, also known as Black Cumin or Kali Jeera, is an ancient spice with a distinct, complex flavor profile. These small, jet-black seeds offer a beautiful mix of nutty, slightly bitter, and peppery notes with a hint of onion-like aroma. Widely used in Mediterranean and South Asian cuisines, Kalonji is not just a spice but a legendary natural remedy, often referred to as the "seed that heals everything."
