Nagut Calories

You can toast Nagut and sprinkle it over salads, soups, or breakfast dishes, or grind it into baked goods. Start with a small amount if you are unfamiliar with its flavor.

Nagut can be eaten raw or toasted. Toasting brings out its aroma; stir it in a dry pan over low to medium heat and take it off the heat as soon as it becomes fragrant.

Toast Nagut in a dry pan over low to medium heat, stirring continuously. Remove it as soon as its aroma becomes noticeable, since the hot pan will keep cooking the seeds after you turn off the heat.

Yes, you can grind Nagut and add it to breads, crackers, and other baked goods. Because ground seeds can lose freshness faster, grind only what you need and keep the rest in an airtight container.

Keep Nagut in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. For longer storage, refrigeration can help preserve its flavor by limiting exposure to warmth and air.

Packaged, ready-to-eat Nagut usually does not need washing. If loose seeds look dusty or contain debris, rinse them briefly, drain well, and dry them before using.

Yes, Nagut oil made for food can be used in cooking. Follow the product’s directions, especially for high-heat cooking, since not every seed oil is intended for every cooking temperature.

Most people can include Nagut regularly as part of meals, but anyone with a seed allergy should avoid it. If you are trying it for the first time, begin with a small amount and watch for a reaction.
