Nigella are the seeds of the Nigella sativa plant, better known to gardeners as love-in-a-mist. It is used primarily in the cooking of India. They are ground and added to legume and vegetable dishes, curries, pilaffs, chutneys, and pickles in India. They are also used whole as a pickling spice in Iran and other parts of the Middle East. The aroma is reminiscent of mild oregano, and the flavour is mildly peppery with nutty, earthy overtones. Available in Indian and Middle Eastern specialty shops, always buy whole seeds because the ground form doesn’t last as long.
