What is Sesame and Black Seed Mix?

Sesame and black seed mix combines nutty sesame seeds with the small, aromatic seeds of Nigella sativa, also called nigella or kalonji. It is commonly used as a topping for breads and savoury baked goods, and can also be stirred into other everyday dishes.

Toasting brings out sesame’s warm, nut-like flavour, while black seed adds a slightly peppery, herbal note. Sprinkle the mix over flatbreads, crackers, salads, roasted vegetables or yoghurt; it also works well with eggs and soft cheese. It is energy-dense, with plenty of fats, alongside fibre and plant protein. A little goes a long way, so use a light scattering when you want flavour and crunch without making a dish too rich.
