    Saving Nigella Seeds
    June 21, 2010

    Sometimes growing a plant is problematic and disappointing: seeds that doesn't sprout, plants that die young or don't bloom, pests, wind...
    None of this has happened with nigella (or kalonji): I put a seed in the ground, and that was all.

    Nigella flowerThe plant has become about 40 cm high, with 2-3 cm wide white flowers.

    Nigella podThe flowers generated the pods and then the plant died.

    Harvest the nigella seeds was simple, I just crushed the pods.

    Nigella seeds are used as a spice, have a nice onion flavor with a fruity aftertaste, and are typically used on bread, but also sandwiches, salads and pickles.
