Nigella seeds

Kalonji

3 g1 teaspoon

9 g1 tablespoon

Spice-trade bulk density of nigella seeds is ~0.60 g/ml (~3.0 g per tsp).

Nigella seeds have a distinct oregano-like, oniony bitterness that cannot be truly replicated.

• 
  Black cumin seeds

  Use equal weight. Imparts an earthy, slightly bitter note in temperings, though it lacks nigella's oniony sharpness.

• 
  Black sesame seeds

  Use equal weight. Gives a similar speckled appearance and light crunch on breads, but provides a nutty rather than herbaceous, onion-like flavour.
