About this item:
Bunium Persicum, commonly known as Kala Jeera Black Cumin, is native to Central Asia and Northern India. It is distinct from Nigella Sativa, which is also referred to as black cumin. The dark brown, crescent-shaped seeds of Bunium Persicum are used extensively as a spice in Indian, Asian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. The seeds can serve as a substitute for cumin in various recipes, including being baked into breads, added to curries, or steamed with rice. Ideal for home cultivation, Kala Jeera is both cost-effective and preferred for its strong flavor. The plants are easy to grow, thriving in sandy or clay soils and even suitable for container gardening. Additionally, the fragrant plants attract birds, bees, and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.
