Terre Exotique Nigella 500g

Terre Exotique’s nigella seeds (also called black onion seeds) have a pronounced bitter taste and herbal aroma. Use the small black seeds to garnish filo pastry tarts, chicken tagines and rice dishes.

Originating in Western Asia, the seed is a key ingredient in a number of spice blends including berbere, ras el hanout and baharat. In Indian cookery, nigella seeds are used to garnish naan breads and flavour dals. 

To release the full aroma, dry-fry the seeds briefly over a low heat until fragrant. Use the versatile seeds to flavour roasted tomatoes, fish curries and baked feta. 

This 500g bag is ideal for catering and professional kitchens – the nigella seeds come in opaque packaging, protecting them from light and preserving the fresh flavour, while the flat base makes it easy to store.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in pouches – the opaque packaging preserves the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
