Organic black cumin seeds whole, 3 mm

Product description

Discover aromatic organic black cumin seeds from Egypt with a consistent grain size of around 3 mm and a deep black colour. The whole seeds are ideal for baked goods, Middle Eastern dishes and professional kitchens.

Thanks to certified organic cultivation and careful processing at Biova, the aroma, essential oils and quality of the black cumin seeds are reliably preserved. The consistent quality makes them easy to use in foodservice, bakeries and artisan production.

In the kitchen, whole black cumin seeds are extremely versatile – from a topping on bread and flatbreads to rice and vegetable dishes, dips and yoghurts. They support a creative, considered spice selection with an authentic Middle Eastern character.

Origin

These organic black cumin seeds come from Egypt, where hot days and cool nights offer ideal conditions for Nigella sativa. Selected growing areas and long-standing partnerships ensure Biova a consistently high, fully traceable quality.

Cultivation / production / harvest

The black cumin is grown in line with organic farming standards, without synthetic pesticides. Once ripe, the capsules are harvested and gently dried, then the whole seeds are sorted, cleaned and packed in convenient bulk bags.

Key features

The uniform grain size of around 3 mm ensures even distribution in doughs, spice blends and toppings. Whole, unbroken seeds retain their intense aroma for longer and, with their deep black colour, create striking visual accents.

Origin and processing differences

Egyptian black cumin is known for its robust, spicy profile, while other origins are often milder. Biova’s use of whole seeds and bulk packaging clearly sets them apart from ground products and small retail packs.

Taste & aroma

The seeds offer an intensely spicy, slightly nutty flavour with fine bitter and peppery notes. When lightly toasted, black cumin develops a fuller, roasted aroma reminiscent of classic Middle Eastern cuisine.

Suggested uses

• As a topping for bread, rolls, flatbread, crackers and crispbread
